About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, aboard a Jeep — the real Cades Cove Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a private tour for your group only, aboard a Jeep, reaching Cades Cove via Wears Valley and Townsend on the park's west side. The real Cades Cove Historic District is genuinely listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Cades Cove Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 13 July 1977. The loop road through the valley is about 11 miles and one-way, passing preserved cabins, churches, barns and a working mill.

The cove's human story runs deeper than the cabins. Cherokee people hunted here and called it Tsiyahi, meaning Otter Place, until the 1819 Treaty of Calhoun ended their claims. John Oliver and his wife Lurena Frazier were the first permanent European settlers in 1818. Once the national park was planned, Tennessee used eminent domain in 1927, and Oliver's descendants lost a court fight, leaving the cove in 1937.

The tour approaches from the west via Wears Valley and Townsend, which avoids the Gatlinburg side. Deer and wild turkey are common in the open fields, and bears are seen less predictably.
