James McCaulley rented The Tipton Place till he could get his own place.While renting he built the blacksmith shop. It is located on the Cades Cove Loop Rd.,in the Great Smoky Mountains NP. Iron was an important material in pioneer life. From under the blacksmiths hammer came the tools of life: axes, adzes, drawknives and froes; bolts and bits, chains and hooks; the bull tongue plow and the wagon tire. He made and repaired the bits and pieces that cut, dug, hung, dragged, bore through, or held together most everything else.

Heidi stranger. Just got back from the crick,had to grind some corn for the missis to break our fast. Comin in an have some when shes done fixin it. I’m Noah Ogle and the missis is Cindy. Ya can call me Bud if ya a mind to. We been round heres a while came in 1879 and lived in a shack lookin place till I raised this end of the house. Later youngens came along an had to put on more. Some are callin this here a saddlebag cabin, if’n hit were open there by the chimney hit’d a be a dog trot. That thar cut on the cog joints is called a dovetail,helps hold um together good,builded this all my own self. The assessor man said this place was not fit to farm but me an the missis gets by alright. Theys a spring up the hill thar I’m a gonna build a trough down to the back porch here so’s we a have runnin water. I run my mill that a way don’t see why I can’t do it here……………… This cabin is located on the road joining The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. He did add on the trough from the spring and ran it into a double sink on the back porch.

Ephraim and his wife Minerva raised 9 kids here. This style of cabin is called a Dog-Trot due to the breezeway. At one time it had been boarded up and more beds placed there. This was a hard place full of rocks and a hard way to live. They owned 70 acres of hillside and planted 30 of it. Still the ground here is so rocky they would just get by. The Roaring Fork is close enough so you would here it 24/7.The smaller side was used for the kitchen and the bigger the living area. The doors are short to hold in heat better and so they didn’t have to add more logs to get the additional height

Noah “Bud” Ogle and wife Cindy settled here in the White Oaks Flats area of the Smokies in 1879.They were told this rocky area wasn’t fit for farming but made a livin on their 400 acres anyway. They lived in a shack until the closest cabin was built. Later on when kids started poppin up they added the section on the far end. Both side share a common chimney and this style of cabin is know as a Saddlebag. They had a tub grist mill down at the stream. They were also one of the few with running water at the cabin. Noah ran a small trough similar to what was at the tub mill from the spring on the hill to the sink seen on the far side of the back porch. This cabin is located on the road joining The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. He did add on the trough from the spring and ran it into a double sink on the back porch.

A lot of the lowland valleys of the Smokies were settled in the 1800’s by Scot-Irish, Germans, and English immigrants. They new how to survive off what the land gave them. They cleared trees, raised crops, and hunted for their meat. Many built simple single pen cabins like John Owenby’s. When the national park was created the forest was allowed to reclaim the land. Fields were overgrown as well as roadbeds. Cabins were allowed to decay or dismantled. Some were kept like John Ownby’s log cabin it can be found along the Fighting Creek Trail. This building has been rehabilitated by the National Park Service, preserving original building materials, as it is the last remaining log building in the Sugarlands area. The logs are from tuliptree and white pine. The clay mortar for the chimney came from the banks of the near by spring

Rainy misty day at the Noah ‘Bud’ Ogle Place. The barn was the activity center of the farm. The animals that were crucial to making it day to day lived here. The tools used were stored here as well as winter fodder for the livestock. Those passing thru might sometimes get water an feed for their animals earning the owner some spare income. This is located on the Roaring Fork Nature Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains and is an example of early Appalachian structures. There is a spring, unseen, to the left of the barn that Noah ran a trough from to the house for running water.
