Description

Image is a digital painting of kitchen utensils hanging above the fireplace in the John Davis Cabin in the Oconaluftee area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The cabin, built in 1900, was originally located on Indian Creek several miles to the west. John Davis moved to the area in 1885 to free-range his livestock. The cabin was constructed with matched chestnut logs joined with dove-tail notches.

Oconaluftee is the name of a river valley in the Great Smoky Mountains. The term "Oconaluftee" comes from the Cherokee village name Egwanulti, which means "by the river". Formerly the site of a Cherokee village and Appalachian community, the valley's bottomland is now home to the main entrance to the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Oconaluftee area parallels the Oconaluftee River. The national park lands in Oconaluftee are home to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, Mingus Mill, and the Mountain Farm Museum. Much of the area is part of the Oconaluftee Archaeological District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
