In Cades Cove there were few sources of power which the frontiersman knew how to harness.
One of those sources was the water wheel such as the one that drove this early grist mill.
A wooden slough channels the water from the river to the mill to create a steady flow for turning the mill.
Enclosed by a snake rail fence, this appeared to be one of the most popular stops on the Cades Cove tour.
