Blowing Cave Mill, TN




Blowing Cave Mill, 171 Blowing Cave Rd, Sevierville, TN

Built 1870, It originally used a wooden wheel that was replaced with the present wheel in 1941. I hope if you visit that it will be open, maybe a store, gift shop, when we saw it it was Sept 2019 and the hubby wondered if they might make it a restaurant? They were working on it? So cool. I did do some research on "the google" to get that info. above ...dates and all??! Hope you are well, take care!! Be Well & Be Blessed!!! Beth ( ;

The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you
