Cades Cove
AMAZING! History and wildlife and bears... oh my!
The Visitor Center/Museum is a great place to stop before visiting the reconstructed fort. It offers information on the area’s history and artifacts that were excavated prior to the Fort’s reconstruction. A 15-minute film adds to the visitor’s understanding of the period. It is located between the parking lot and the reconstructed fort.
