Elkmont was once a thriving vacation destination for affluent folks from the cities of Tennessee. Some time ago, the land was bought up as a result of the Smoky Mountain National Park being formed. In short, due to various red tape, the buildings have not yet been torn down as was the plan by the park service, leaving a ghost town of sorts for folks to enjoy. In this video our group hiked around the area for a bit to explore some of what's left of this pseudo ghost town.
