In order to use the corn or grains for baking they had to be ground into flour. This could be done by mortar and pestle but is very time consuming using this method. Man as far back as the 1st B.C. has used hydropower to help speed up this process. The use of this power came to be known as gristmills. / A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface. Most commonly, the wheel is mounted vertically. Water turns the wheel then gears and ultimately the grinding stones. They are many verities of this method. / The wheel here at the John Cable Mill in Cades Cove is known as an overshot type. This gets its name from water running over the top of the wheel. This mill wasn’t the 1st in Cades Cove but by 1870 the population was large enough to support another.
This church was organized in the 1820s with services held in a log building until the building of this structure. The Methodists were not as numerous as the dominant Baptists here, and often depended on a circuit riding preacher. Another church, Hopewell Methodist, is marked only by a cemetery today was across the cove. The Civil War caused division in the church so several started going to Hopewell. In 1902 this structure and its furnishings were reportedly the work of one man. J. D. McCampbell, a blacksmith and carpenter, built it in 115 days of $115. Afterward, he became its preacher for many years. The two doors are a result of the plans used to build this structure. In some churches ladies and children entered through the left door, and men through the right one. A divider separated the two groups, causing frustration among courting couples. They are no indication they practiced this separation here.
Found this on an old barn door in Melay, a small french village. A nice change from the deer horns and feet they hang to keep the bad spirits out. / / Have a look at my other photos.

Update: / Ann Rodriguez correctly guessed a Covered Bridge, Michael Bermingham correctly “guessed” the state of PA. Submitted to Bubble Jeopardy, as some of you know our little friend has been spotted in numerous places (Grand Canyon, Bristol, Atlantic Ocean beaches).

Herman’s House …. Spotted this Covered Bridge near Montandon, PA. This one is off of Creek Road, of Rt 45. These bridges are a treat to look at, lend themselves to photography as well. Occasionally you may even find a critter seeking shelter in them, such as captured in this shot: My art with 1000+ views
The Missionary Baptist Church in Cades Cove was formed around 1839. It was founded by members from Cades Cove Baptist Church that were dismissed over an argument over missions. The present building was built in 1915. The members continued using this site for about ten years after the parks establishment. One of the highlights of the church was in 1893 when a well known evangelist, Rev. Thomas Sexton, led a revival. The congregation nearly doubled in size as a result. This was one of the biggest events ever in the Cove…The Church in located along the Cades Cove Loop Road, Great Smoky Mountains
The Baptist Church in the Cove was organized in 1827.In 1836 William Tipton gave the church a half acre where it stands now. A log structure was built and served the church until 1887, when the present frame building was built. In 1839 some of the members spilt off over a disagreement about missions and formed the Missionary Baptist Church. During the Civil War from 1862 to 1865 the church stopped having services. They were pro Union and a lot of the Cove folk were pro Confederate. It was also unsafe to be to far from home as renegade soldiers, who plundered for themselves, would sweep thru the Cove from time to time. The congregation’s members used this building up to the 1970’s. One of the more festive events was “footwashing” this would be an all day or several days event…….The Primitive Baptist Church is located on a short side road off to the left of Cades Cove Loop Road, GSMNP
