This Park Travel Short is about Oconaluftee Area in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This are features the Oconaluftee Visitor's Center, the Mountain Farm Museum or Mingus Mill. We Were so happy we took the drive over the mountain in October of 2019! Please subscribe to our channel if you enjoy exploring parks and Public Lands!
Oconaluftee offers both a visitor center and the Mountain Farm Museum-a collection of historic log buildings gathered from throughout the Smoky Mountains and preserved on a single site. Buildings include a house, barn, apple house, springhouse, and smokehouse. Mingus Mill. Built in 1886, this historic grist mill uses a water-powered turbine instead of a water wheel to power all of the machinery in the building. Located at its original site, Mingus Mill stands as a tribute to the test of time. Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM daily mid-March through mid-November. Also, open Thanksgiving weekend.
