- ABANDONED MYSTERIOUS STRUCTURES IN THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS EXPLORED!!! GRAVEYARD SHOWS TRAGEDY STRUCK!
This week we head out of Alabama and up into Tennessee on a family adventure! This abandoned community was once for the wealthy and nestled in the mountains along a beautiful creek. The graveyard tells of the tragedy that struck this once amazing resort!

I haven't had time to do the research but it is possible that Pearl Parton is related to Dolly Parton. Hoping to find out later this week if I have time to research her! Also here is the video from our first trip here back in January: th-cam.com/video/H6e2vNGmec0/w-d-xo.html
The majority of the Partons are related.
Elk mint is beautiful!! I live really close to there. I was planning on going there this year to walk the trails but covid had other plans for me.
I can’t believe how big Addy is now!! She grown so much this year!! Adorable as ever and always watching to make sure her daddy doesn’t get hurt☺️
Great video Brandon as always!!!
Hugs and love ❤️
A penny means you visited the grave. A nickel means you trained at bootcamp together. A dime means you served with that soldier. A quarter means you were there when that Soldier lost his life. Beautiful family you have Sir!! Thanks for taking us with you!!
Thanks for clarifying!
You're never too old to learn. I never knew this. Thanks for the information.
Great family outing, and nice happy music to start off. Did some reading on Elkmont, good to see area is a National Park. So serene.
Lovely family video and loved the bit of history shown and scenery was amazing Thankyou Brandon and Family
I'm about an hour east of there! Great area for motorcycle riding. My late husband and I used to ride that area quite often. So sad about all of the infants. I'd wager times were tough in the mountains back then for many. Good to see your lovely family again.
Nice, Brandon! Used to love to walk in the woods and find old house sites and visit the old graveyards. Hope the ticks weren't out in force! Your little girl is a cutie! When she said you'll have to duck, I was sooo expecting you to go "quack, quack" for her. Looking forward to your next video!
Haha I should have quacked at her! I have to keep the dad jokes rolling for her 😂
Hope ypu have a top weekend and stay safe out there cracking job as allways really injoy catching up on your videos and as I allways say see you at the next 👍
Cracking ? Sounds Australian
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great site and old graveyard 👋👍
I always wonder what was like living back than seen these old fireplaces
1934 was the middle of the Great Depression and a lot of people were malnourished and unemployment was extremely high. Infant mortality would have been high. (The US is 51st in infant mortality in 2020. It's behind Cuba, Portugal, Bosnia, Slovenia, Ireland, Latvia, Estonia and several dozen others. Something to consider when you pay your medical insurance.)
Interesting stuff, seems like it was just a small community along the creek.
Enjoyed thanks
Thanks Frank!
He looks like a village around the mill.
The large chimneys must have been a big house
neat location. has to be cooler under the tree canopy. yes it is so sad about the children
dying so soon. some thing we take for granted.
Cool place to visit. Great to see the family out exploring also.
the babies are always sad , but otherwise a great video . stay safe
Very interesting. What was the industry in the area to support a good number of houses? Was it the mill or other thing? In our younger days on our trips of adventjre (Australia) you always looked for the old cemeteries and buildings
It started out as a logging camp and eventually turned into a tourist destination. There is a book titled" Last Train to Elkmont" that does a great job covering that area.
I think it was a village ..I bet there was some really cool fireplaces back in the day.. I hope you were caring some bear spray🥺.. beautiful tho..THX !!
No beat spray maybe next time haha!
This was a nice “change of pace” what SpongeBob Squarepants calls a “Best Day Ever”
Gravestones for children are by far the saddest part of exploring old cemeteries As a Father it makes me count my blessings …. ( I love 💕 you Carolanne ) Ironically, all those chimneys looked like giant tombstones for old homesteads Too bad ya can’t run a metal detector
Dude if I knowed y'all was in the area. I could of took ya gold panning!
You ever hunt any ginseng
When your man cuts your bottles does he tumble them 1st
No I handle the tumbling!
@@adventurearchaeology well that adds a glitch... I could send bottles off to you 1st I guess or I could send you bottles and you could handle it all and take your cut.
Yah the shipping gets crazy. I’m reevaluating everything currently.
In a local cemetery here ,during the yellow fever outbreak a man lost his wife and 8 children over a 2 month period . Long gone in the past is the pain and suffering that was endured by many . This whiny generation now have no clue what pain and suffering is . Enjoyed the video .
So they claim. You think the government didnt use Genocide on these towns? They have been doing it for thousands of years. Ask them what happened to the Mayans, they don't know? Of course they know. Genocide. Poison the water supply, then claim it's "natural causes". And that is how history remembers it. Not murder. Isn't it ironic how all these illnesses, bubonic, Spanish, one day, they just.. TURN OFF? Their just gone? BULL SHIT. You were lied to about everything. Freemasons are not good guys, they are LUCIFERIANS. They do not even hide the satanism. They don't know what happened to the Egyptians, Mayans, Incas or Aztecs... Why not? THEY WERE THERE. .. TRYING TO STRIKE A DEAL FOR COCAINE LIKE THE EGYPTIONS, AND i THINK THEY WERE TOLD TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES, SO THEY MADE CIVILIZATIONS DISAPPEAR. They wouldn't? CV. They are doing it right now.
@@DiaryofaGrimReaper Maybe, just MAYBE they were all abducted by ALIENS!?!? Maybe in your world conspiracy theories are necessary to keep the FEAR going, but on the planet EARTH there are scientific explanations for your questions.
I'm really NOT trying to be hateful but if more people did RESEARCH and listened to historians, scientists, archeologists and MANY people much smarter than myself, instead of living in a bubble listening to people repeat your preconceived ideas, we could eradicate this terrible virus BEFORE we are ALL taken out. 🤔
This was absolutely beautiful God-bless those babies that passed a long time ago but they are with God right now
It was a beautiful place!
Cool little adventure. I was in Tennessee a few weeks back visited the site where my 6th Great Grandparents settled around 1809. They are buried on the property along with my 5th and 4th Great Grandparents. The home burned down around 1848.
Wow that is awesome!
Where in Tennessee?
@@tenncutt Near Cookville.
Excellent been hanging out waiting for your post......🦘🇭🇲🇺🇲🦘
love old structures such as this. I remember as a boy going camping in the Sierra mountains in California with my grandparents. There was an old wooden shack just below a dam we fished at and my grandmother always said that's where the old hermit lived 100 years ago. I've always been fascinated by historical stuff like this. I love your channel, Brandon, not only for the cool stuff you find, but your interest and utmost respect for historical sites such as this and the artifacts you find. Don't let the haters get to you, brother. Keep doing what you're doing. You've made a name for yourself here.
Thanks Jeff!
Great family adventure, thanks for posting it Brandon. It's amazing how many old homes were along that creek.
Thanks Ricky!
Can you imagine what these houses looked like in their heyday? This little neighborhood was bustling at one time. Think of all the families: the kids running around, horses, mamas out washing laundry, maybe grandmas out snapping beans on the front porch...
I bet it was beautiful!
I bet theres some good metal detecting finds in there! Shame you cant. They always have to ruin the fun...
You have a fantastic imagination. ! Grandmas Snapping beans ! I love that picture
God bless you and your beautiful family!! You have been Blessed!!
You are lucky to have a nice family. Your little girl is so cute. You think it could be a old camp. In the 1930s the depression was very hard on the poor.
Elmont was a "summer" village for the wealthy. It was not abandoned.
What a beautiful place! Do you carry bear spray ? Thanks for sharing! ❤️👍
Amie I do not. Typically Black beats leave you alone.
@@adventurearchaeology Thank you for replying! ❤️👍
Loved the visit. You have a lovely family! 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
At 326 there’s somebody walking in the background was anybody with you??
The best channel to watch in the world guys have been watching 24/7. Can't wait for the next video Brandan
I sure do appreciate that!
Great bit of family fun Brandon. I'm glad you didn't get hurt on that slip. Thanks for bringing us along
The buildings would all still be standing if they'd built them entirely out of chimneys 🤔🍻
No doubt!
Good one!
I am sorry to say that I live about an hour and a half from where you was today and I have never been to where you all were and I have tosay your video was super.
Good morning Brandon and family. Enjoyed hiking trip with you all. Have fun. Joyce ❤️🇺🇸
Thanks Joyce!
Hey, you are bout 5 min from my back yard. If youd been about 3 years earlier there were still dilapidated buildings attached to those chimneys. Park ripped them down . Almost all of them were built in the early 20th century in an old style. Mostly wealthy elites from Knoxville built these as vacation homes. My girlfriend is an Ogle from that family. The graveyard is actually some of the original family's that lived in there for generations.
I had a friend in college named Wade Ogle - he was in a kick ass band called The Faith Healers
Wow what a cool place! Love it.
Great video like it when you’re just kind of roaming around. Ogle huh? That’s my dads mothers maiden name. Not many around probably a relative.
Awesome! Nice family.
Awww....your lil one is too cute..duck! 😄 loved this video...its a lovely area...I need to return to TN soon ❤
Thanks! She is a handful!
Watching how your crew walked back there makes me wonder how they are getting there to keep the grass trimmed at the graveyard.
A wonderful time with your family Brandon. And the scenery is breathtaking. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures .Take care and stay safe.
Since my legs are getting wonky I am not able to hike anymore, so I really enjoy new adventures like this! I wonder if all those chimneys were part of the mill. Thanks for taking us along! :-)
Just turned 60 - and guess what ? I just noticed my legs are a bit wonky too !!! I’m determined to reverse this ! Wish me luck !!!
I’m thinking it was a line of homes.

🇺🇲 ... (but I'm a Chicago born Irish Girl) Dad was from Kenton, Tennessee,
Best Thoughts ...
Why would people build so close together? Looks like Ogles lost two kids.
Not sure to be honest! The Ogles were a large Family name in East Tennessee!
Most people are commenting about bear spray ... I'm thinking insect repellent for ticks and chiggers! Loved the old chimneys! Would be interesting to know more history.
Surprisingly none of us got a tick on us haha!
@@adventurearchaeology Definitely not Alabama!
Over out by Waialua There's an old cemetery. It has a set of graves from the 1918 epidemic, and a lot of child graves. The cemetary has stayed in use to 2000 at least. It is "On the way" to the spot where I dug my first Hutchinson, a 4pc. Waialua Soda Works in aqua. This was in 2008, and I've dug it off & on since, and sifted some top notch stuff from 100 YAG. This was the reason the Ewa Planration Hosptal was founded in 1893. This was to ease child mortality in the first year of life, which was pretty rough. Here "Baby luaus"remain common, a celebration of the first year of life. The Hawaiian population was hit hard in the first 100 years after "Discovery" in 1778. American ideals of public health were strong here, from missionary influence, and across the U.S. Public Health was generally promoted in the later 1800s.
Hope you and your family had a great time here in East Tennessee. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Someone asked me if I was afraid to sleep in a graveyard.....
.
. no i wasn't afraid..... It's the living people who are dangerous ones.
. 🥺✝️
What a gorgeous place to live - I realize, that way back when those homes and families weren't associated with the affluent. They were poor people - but nonetheless, still human beings with dignity and self-respect. I would LOVE to know the history of this National Park site. Who was there, why were they there, and when was the last residency of the area recorded. It figures that the State of Tennesee claimed this area for Park Lands.
Very interesting! Mother nature is reclaiming the town. Would like to know what happened back then. Thank you for sharing the venture.
Massive chimneys wow! Beautiful stream too. Its so sad how many babies that didn't make it. They're in gods hands, thats foresure. Thanks for taken us along!
When you commented on the quartz in the building i was already thinking gild before you said anything. Guess being a panner makes you make that connection 🙂🤔Those tiny infants in the graveyard are so sad. May they rest in peace.
That's a beautiful place to visit Brandon and I'm always glad to see your family with you!
How fun was that, well would have been fantastic if I was there, but enjoyed y’all’s trip. So sad on the children tomb stones, seen it like this in other old cemetery’s. Thanks for taking us along. ~ Texas
I’m sure everyone knows this but I’ll throw it out there, when the GSMNP was created they moved the inhabitants out. It’s a great place to hike and explore.
My wife’s family used to own the pink cabin, now named Spence cabin.
There were several "fevers" ravaging Tennessee in 1932. One was Scarlet Fever with attacked infants. So it could be that's what went through the town.
I love going to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area of TN. As soon as I saw the last name of that infant's gravestone I wondered if they were kin to Dolly Parton. If you get a chance go to Dollywood and meet some of Dolly's kin that work there. Dolly is such a beautiful and giving person. I got to meet her once at Dollywood.
Brandon I Love your videos ,this was a very cool one all the history a look back in time I Love that . Thank you for taking us along with you and your family .It would be fun to know more about all the people that liked there . Thank you again.
So beautiful and very respectful of the cemetery, Thankyou
I like those old chimneys, the creek is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
It’s. Always been hard for me to see abandoned houses in the fields and woods. I wonder what made people abandon life in it. It’s worse now we have so many homeless folks in town. All coming in from the burned homes in our forest fires or just coming from somewhere to pack in to the city where everything in the wider world have empty houses falling down.
A beautiful place...thanks for sharing:)
Been subscribed for a long time. Just saw this video and click it says i was unsubscribed. I never unsubscribed
Love the Smokemont & Cades Cove area! Thanks for taking us along!
So cool! Love that you all found that. Awesome history! ❤
hay nice place i would love to see all that maybe you can get special permission to use metal detector and donate all finds to state park nice thank you
Unfortunately there’s no such thing as special permission
Exactly!
Back in the day they had fireplaces or stoves in about every room, hence chimneys.
Really enjoyed this video. What history. Wish I could be there.
I’ve visited that graveyard before. It’s sad to see all the infant headstones. But, it was a very interesting graveyard to visit.
Another good video but you need to spend more time with your family enjoy your vacation
Could you get special permission to metal detect and donate to any of the visitors centers???
Looks like a whole bunch of family's lived there
Be careful around those rubble piles, we were there a couple weeks ago and saw a 6 ft timber rattle coiled up in one of them.
You could sand down that glass with the black on it and make jewelry with it
Coins where originally to pay the ferryman in the afterlife I was told.
Some of the older houses had outdoor kitchens for during the summer to keep the heat out it may be why there's so many chimneys
Back in the day way more infants died right after birth for stuff we don’t worry or deal with now
It's really nice that you can share this with your young'n.
My Dad's, Father died in early 1940s, from a Staff infection. He was frying chicken, & some grease popped on his hand & burned him (just a small spot), the only thing they had to fight infections was Sulpha drugs, according to my Grandma. Penicillin wasn't around. I'm sure his working on that farm, using his hands, contributed to the infection. Funny thing I'm allergic to penicillin. Luckily I was born when I was, or I might have suffered the same fate. Grandfather was born in 1899 or 1900, he was still a young guy. My Mom had Scarlet Fever, she was born in late 1932. So perhaps it was an epidemic of some sort.
Penicillin wouldn't have helped. He would have needed a antibiotic such as Bacteria. It is a Sulfa drug but it is designed to kill gram negative bacteria such as Staphacoccus.
Very interesting ,love the old creaks⁰⁰
I hunted with a gentleman and his widows family was the one of the last to be relocated from Cades Cove in the Smokys. They were moved to Townsend were she was born. She lives in Wetumpka currently. Her parents grew up in Cades Cove. Love going to the Smoky Mountains
I’ve been to Cade’s Cove a few times. It’s so beautiful in that area. I go up there when I visit my sister who lives in Maryville Tennessee
@@laurenoreilly4140 Cades Cove is my favorite place in the park. When we go I always plan to spend a full day there. I have been many times over the years and still find something new to see with every trip.
Very cool place, to bad you can't detect that place 😎👍
I enjoyed this video. Wow, there sure was a lot of chimneys. We’re they all from a homestead or part of the saw mill? It’s got my curiosity up.
Thanks Brandan good video.
♥️😊👍👍
I believe they were all different homes.
What is your website for purchases?
