Cades Cove Grist Mill - a photo on Flickriver

            Milling lay at the heart of the small community which inhabited Cades Cove from the 1820s to the 1940s.  The old Cable Grist Mill can still be found around halfway up the Cades Cove loop road.  Built between 1865 and 1868, the mill was the economic core of Cades Cove and has been brought back into operation as an historic mill.

The amazing thing about the Cades Cove Grist Mill is that it is almost completely originally.  A winding pathway leads visitors to the quaint mill house, which is run by a group of dedicated millers employed by the national park.  The mill works by taking dry goods such as corn, and grinding them against a stone wheels into a fine powder or cornmeal.  This can then be used for a variety of cooking applications such as cornbread, corn muffins, and frying batter.

The Cable Grist Mill features two separate millstones, which are original to the 1868 construction.  Every few years, the stones are re-chipped and sharpened by hand to ensure they can produce a fine grain.  Traditionally, Cades Cove settlers would bring their corn to the mill in return for a one-eighth share of the final product, which was retained by the miller as a usage fee.
