Very much another time that some of us older folk look back on fondly. It must have been a huge wrench to finally move away from this beautiful area . Great historic piece Gracie.
Thank y’all so much for watching!! I really appreciate it! It’s amazing to travel back not too many years ago and to see how much the Cove has changed from a thriving community to a tourist attraction.
Thank you. Somehow I'm kin to them. My dad was rtaisedin Hartford tn/cosby. My papaw was noah caughron. Born in 1889 d 1984. I'm very disappointed I didn't know this. Part of my heart is in those mts. Maybe that why Cades cove seems so special to me. 😢😊❤
I was planning a segment on Kermit for my young channel and YOU BEAT ME TOO IT! 😂 My Aunt attended school in Townsend with one of his daughters. I was working the front desk at the Family Inn in Townsend when I saw trucks taking the last of his cattle out of the Cove go by, realizing it was the last chapter of Cades Cove as a living community.
I remember seeing him occasionally when we drove thru the cove. I couldn't remember exactly when it was when he left. I figured he passed away when they took his house down. The last time I went around the cove, I walked back where his house was to see if there was anything remaining and there was nothing. Looks like they would have left something or some building to tell his story. I always thought it was amazing that he got to live his life there for so long after the park was established. Thanks for sharing a little about his story.
I seem to remember several years ago a house on the left side of road about a third of the distance of the loop after you leave the visitor center. I believe it was pretty close to the road but my wife doesn’t remember it.
@@krstoner53 It was on the right side of the road after you pass Hyatt Lane on the last half of the loop past the Dan Lawson house. It sat maybe 300 yards off the road in the edge of the woods. You can still see his old driveway, but that's all that is left.
Guess I may of been wrong that was in the early 70’s but that seemed to be the general area. I want to think it was a clapboard house and not a cabin maybe more towards the Tipton place but on the left side and looking down on it. That was a long time ago
I thought I was seeing a picture of my dad. He was from the area of Cosby. My grandfather was Isaac Luther Caughron. He had a brother named Harrison. My grandmother was Lavonia McMillan. When I was about 12 years old we went to a Caton.McMillan reunion around Cosby, TN. I am now 86 so it has been awhile. I loved the mountains we were in..
We were in the Boy Scouts hiking the loop. They invited us for water. Years later as we would visit, I would see the house and remember their kindness. Was sad when it was torn down.
Been to Cades cove several times. It's a hauntingly beautiful and peaceful place. To me it feels like a place I remember from a former life. It's a shame the government can force people from their homes like that.
That’s awesome!! I hope that you all enjoyed the video! It was such a pleasure making it and so much fun reading all of the stories. Thank you so much for watching!!
I am not quite sure why. I would love to know! He was such an incredible guy and he is truly a major part of the history of Cades Cove. Thank you so much for commenting Sandra!!

One of the most beautiful places on earth!
They should have left his home & told his stories. Great history lesson.
My grandfather was William 'Otey' Caughron. Don't know their relation, but definite similarities in the face.
That’s awesome!! I hope that you all enjoyed the video! It was such a pleasure making it and so much fun reading all of the stories.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Mom said she thought that was her dad when I shared this so I know related.
Why did they remove his house? So sad😮
I am not quite sure why. I would love to know! He was such an incredible guy and he is truly a major part of the history of Cades Cove. Thank you so much for commenting Sandra!!
It's a great place to visit
Yes it is! Thank you so much for commenting Howard!!
Gracie, I love all of your videos but I think these "history storyteller" videos are something you should do more often. We'll done!
What is the name of the song please? :-)
