The Cataloochee Valley Historic District

📍 Waynesville, North Carolina

Once a thriving community, Cataloochee Valley was home to farmers and craftsmen until the National Park Service established the area as part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of this once-vibrant village, learning about its past through guided tours.

This historic district features preserved buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including homes, a church, and a school, illustrating the rich history of mountain life in North Carolina.
