Cable Mill in Cades Cove
In the early 1870s when John Cable built his mill at the west end of Cades Cove, it was surrounded only by his fields. Like most farmers with gristmills, Cable's milling was a part-time job. Although the mill was open foro business on specific days, customers who came at other times could ring a large bell near the mill when they wanted to call John Cable from his fields. Today Cable Mill has a visitor center plus the Gregg-Cable House and several farm buildings which were moved in from other parts of the cove.
