Oconaluftee Visitor Center in the Great Smoky Mountains
From VIC's online TV Channel
The Mountain Farm Museum and Oconaluftee Visitor Center and located at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on U.S. Highway 441 near Cherokee, North Carolina. The Blue Ridge Parkway ends nearby. Stop by the new Oconaluftee Visitor Center with plenty of maps, guides, and helpful park rangers and programs.
The Mountain Farm Museum includes farm buildings, most dating around 1900, that were moved from their original locations throughout the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to create an open-air museum. Visitors can explore a log farmhouse, barn, apple house, springhouse, and a working blacksmith shop to get a sense of how families may have lived 100 years ago.
Most of the structures were built in the late 19th century and were moved here in the 1950s. The Davis House is a rare chance to view a log house built from chestnut wood before the chestnut blight decimated the American Chestnut in our forests during the 1930s and early 1940s.
Pet & Bike Friendly Trail
The Oconaluftee River Trail is one of two walking paths in the Smokies on which visitors can walk dogs and bicycle. Pets and bicycles are prohibited on all other park trails. The trail travels 1.5 miles one-way from the Oconaluftee Visitor Center to the outskirts of the city of Cherokee, NC. It is relatively flat, but does have a few small hills. The trail runs through the forest along side the Oconaluftee River and offers beautiful views of the river.
The Farm Museum is free. Open All Year: October 8:00-6:00, November - March 8:00-4:30, April 8:00-5:00

Mingo Falls - Short Hike - Cherokee - North Carolina
When your in Cherokee or Maggie Valley, North Carolina visting these waterfalls is something to do. Finding them is sometimes not easy, but with some research they can be found. This one has a few steps to climb, but is relatively an easy hike. There is plenty of viewing to be had once at the bottom of the falls, and it appears there may be some alternate trails that are not clearly marked.
