  • The building that houses the Visitor Center at the John P. Cable Mill area is not a historic building. It was built in 1972 and operated as a “general store” for several years before being made into the Cades Cove Visitor Center. This may be the most primitive of all National Park Service Visitor Centers for there is no telephone nor electric service available in the area. Any electrical devices used in the building are powered either by solar panels or generator.
