  Almost Home
  by Gary L. Suddath

  The cabin at Jim Bales Place is an example of a single pen cabin. It was a one room with a fireplace. The cabin itself is The Alex Cole Cabin from the Sugarlands area.It was decided by the park service it better matched the corn crib an barn of Jim Bales which are original.This would be more representive of the early Appalachian days here.The house that was there when the park service obtained it, was one that was built as the farm was handed down through the years.It was a modern frame house known as the “Fancy House” / This is located on the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park

  He's Everything To Me
  by Laurie Puglia

  In the stars His handiwork I see, / On the wind He speaks with majesty. / Though He ruleth over land and sea, / What is that to me? / I will celebrate Nativity, / For it has a place in history, / Sure, He came to set His people free, / What is that to me? Till by faith I met Him face to face, / And I felt the wonder of His grace, / Then I knew that He was more / Than just a God who didn’t care, / That lived away out there / and ….. / Now He walks beside me day by day, / Ever watching o’er me lest I stray, / Helping me to find that narrow way, / He is everything to me. Words and music by Ralph Carmichael

  Back In Time
  by Gary L. Suddath

  Step back in time. Enjoy the beautiful fall view they had from their backyard. This is a part of the Mountain Farm Museum, in the Great Smoky Mountains…. This is the Davis-Queen house. It was moved to this location from the Thomas Divide area on Indian Creek in NC. It was built around 1899, and is made of chestnut. Saw mills were around at this time so a frame house would have been possible but John Davis chose to build a log home…..The Meathouse off to the left was usually located close to the main house. This one came from Little Cataloochee, NC….Pork was one of the main meats of the early Appalachians. They had verities of wild meats and other farm animals as they do today, but the good old hog was what went mostly in the meathouse…. Some may call these smokehouses as this was a way of keeping the meat also. They would hang the meat in the building and build a smoky fire for a week or more. This could give a wonderful flavor to the meat but also produced a chemical reaction to the meat that helps preserve it from bugs and bacteria. Another method was to salt cure the meat. This was done by covering the meat with salt. It would then be placed on shelves or in some type of container. Once the salt was soaked into the meat it would slow down bacteria. Both methods was done in cold weather so the meat wouldn’t spoil till it had time to cure….The picket fence was often used around yards and gardens, back then they didn’t fence the farm animals in but out so they could roam the mountain and forest for food. A froe or mallet was often used to hand split the paling. The pointed to discouraged the chickens from standing on the….. The bare tree in the center was a walnut tree, which provides a mix of things from dyes to a food source….The museum is located at the visitor center at the Cherokee NC entrance to the Smokies. It includes must the building from that era. These were moved from different area of the park, The barn is the only original structure that was here to start with. From time to time you will see those dressed from this time period doing various chores.
