    4. Elkmont Ghost Town ► • Cool Places To See In ...
    The Elkmont area was a pioneer community, then a logging town, then a resort town for wealthy vacationers. When the park was established in 1934, Elkmont residents could choose to sell their homes for full value and relocate or sell their properties to the National Park Service for a discounted price in return for a lifetime lease. Once the National Park Service took over, Elkmont slowly started turning into a ghost town.
    3. Elkmont Troll Bridge ► • How To Find The Elkmon...
    One structure that’s still standing in Elkmont Ghost Town is the Troll Bridge. It spans a small creek a little ways off-trail. If you want to see the Troll Bridge, take one of the side trails to the right about 100 feet into the Little River Trail.

    1. House of the Fairies ► • We Found A Real Fairy ...

    I an a descendant of Frederick Emert. He settled in "Emerts Cove" around 1790. It is now called Pittman Center. Since they changed the name of the town, they named the covered bridge after him. Great video!! Also, my grandmother was born and raised in Elkmont/Sugarlands. My great grandparents cabin was moved from the Sugarlands to Roaring Fork Trail for preservation. It's so beautiful in the Great Smokey Mountains ❤ My mothers side of the family is buried at Levi Trentham cemetery including my mother. She passed last November. She was born in Sevierville.

    Just got back last week from a 3 day trip to the Smokey mountain national park. It was absolutely breathtaking. Very crowded....I think a lot of people were ready to travel after covid. Seems like they all went there! Even though it was packed it was still very enjoyable.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  3 года назад +2

      It's always extremely packed in the Smokies. That's one reason why we made this video to give people some other options on things to do and places to go that might not be so crowded. Thanks for watching 🙂

    i think the cabin you are at is actually the Bud Ogle place. The Voorhies houses are right around the fairy house.

    • @NickandRachel
      @NickandRachel  3 года назад +9

      Yeah we realized that after we did some more research we put it in the description of the video. There are several articles that said that was the Voorhees estate and then found out it was all wrong. Thank you for watching!

    You are super adorable,and give a wonderful presentation. We vacationed a lot in the Smokies and would like to see these places, cabins remind me of Cades Cove one of my favorite places. We were there in the fall of 2020 and were astounded at the amount of people in Gattlingburg in October! Not like it used to be in the 70s & 80s. Guess that’s progress. We’ll be retiring next year and plan to move there, can’t wait, see y’all soon. God Bless

    Those look so cool I never been to the Great Smokies but I want to go camping there some time. As an artist I love capturing nature and old buildings and stuff in my work. I do paintings and wood burnings and those places you mention would be great to sit down with an easel and capture its beauty in a painting or wood burning. I have a travel easel and I take it with me when I go hiking.
