Noah "Bud" Ogle's Cabin in the Roaring Fork Historic District, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Working farm between 1883 and 1925

With axe, plow, and gun, the first settlers changed the mountains, cutting into forests that were centuries old. They called this place “Junglebrook” after the dense growths of rhododendron and magnolia that bordered the streams. Between 1883 and 1925 this was the farm of Noah “Bud” Ogle, but the forest is reclaiming it. The cabin, cornfields, and mill remain on this long-abandoned farmstead.
