Church at the Edge of the Woods: Cataloochee Great Smoky Mountains National Park, April 2005 Big Cataloochee had only one church, Palmer Chapel, built in 1898. Services were held in this Methodist Church about once a month, when a circuit riding minister visited Cataloochee. Although, Sunday school was a weekly occurrence. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)

The Mountains: Cherokee National Forest, June 2007 Another view of the mountains from an overlook on Chilhowee Mountain. This one is similar to a shot I posted from that morning—only without the fog. 🙂 In the lower right-hand corner is a hint of Ocoee Lake, which is mostly hidden behind the trees.

Palmer House: Cataloochee Great Smoky Mountains National Park, April 2005 As in Cades Cove, the park service has maintained several of the buildings that formed this small community. We stopped at one of the homes, the Palmer House. The yellow building was the house proper, and the smaller white structure was built around 1924 to house a small dining area and kitchen that fed people who camped or stayed in the Palmer’s bunkhouse while fishing.

Inside: Cataloochee Great Smoky Mountains National Park, April 2005 Visitors are free to walk both around and inside of the Palmer House. This photo is of one of the interior rooms of the main house. The main house is a two story structure. The kitchen building now houses a small museum of life in the Cataloochee community. The ceiling are on the low side, so I had to watch my head quite a bit while I walked around the house. (via Photos from Robby Edwards)
