Historic Blue Ridge

Mountain Farm Museum

The Mountain Farm Museum, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, North Carolina comprises one of the finest collections of historic log structures in the National Park System. The 19th century buildings were relocated from the surrounding mountains and coves in the Park to replicate a typical farm of that era.

Visitors of the Mountain Farm Museum can explore the Davis House, a log cabin built of American chestnut before the blight obliterated the giant trees from the region. Other farm buildings near Cherokee, North Carolina are open as well, including a barn, hen house, smoke house, apple house, springhouse and blacksmith shop.

In summer, the Mountain Farm Museum becomes a working farm, with crops such as squash, corn and tomatoes cultivated in the garden and live farm animals grazing in the fields. Great Smoky Mountains National Park staff and volunteers in period costumes offer interpretive programs and demonstrations of traditional farming techniques.
