Great job as always Donnie!

I second the thank you for all the important history you're giving us. Preserving these old ways is so important & so precious to our nation. We enjoy the relaxing nature videos too. All of it. 🐿👏👏👏🦃🐾🦌🦨🍂🙏🇺🇲🥰
Awesome my friend. Thank you. Your very welcome.
Amazing how they harnessed the creek there to work for them.The Old Mill has withstood the test of time,and still putting cornbread on the table. Thanks Friend for another good one 🙂.
Your very welcome my friend.
When my son was 7 he became thoroughly fascinated by mills of all kind. That year we went to Great Smokies NP for the first time. As we were driving through Cades Cove my son saw the sign for the Cable Mill and begged us to stop so that he could see the mill. His eyes were so wide with excitement when he saw the mill race, the wheel and the pond outside of the mill. When we went inside the mill he began to “talk shop” with the Park Service miller who was so surprised that a little 7 year old boy knew so much about mills! The next thing I knew this kind man took my son down to where the water turned the gears and was showed my son how each part of the mill worked. Some other visitors wanted to know why he was down on the lower level with the miller when there were “Keep out” signs everywhere. The miller asked if anyone else knew as much as this little boy did about waterwheel mills. Of course, nobody except my husband and I did, so there were no more complaints. The miller even had our son explain part of the milling process to the visitors. We had one very starry-eyed boy for weeks after that.
Two years later we returned to the park and went to see the turbine mill on the NC side of the park. Because it was raining heavily our family were the only visitors to visit the mill in 2-3 hours. Once again my son started asking questions of the miller there, and the miller was so happy to have someone who actually talk shop (now at age 9) that he took our son on the most detailed tour of every part of the mill. Our family spent at least 2 hours there, and when we left the miller thanked our son for “the most fun he’d ever had as a miller”. This son is now a watershed scientist who works for the US Geological Survey. Little did those two kind millers know that they would have a major effect on my son’s future life! I bless them both for their kindness.
Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you.
What a wonderful job you did on the grist mill story. Had the pleasure of visiting Cades Cove years ago and just did't want to leave. It is so peaceful and beautiful. How sad that our daily life seems to be so busy that we can't enjoy the beauty God has given us. Have a wonderful day and good luck on your hunting trip.
Thanks for sharing this my friend. Thank you. God bless you and keep you my friend.

Hi Donnie! I really enjoyed watching this video. It really is interesting, the history behind the mill.

Good to see the ol Cable mill still turning , I live 3 miles from the Rice mill @ Norris Dam and it doesn't turn anymore, for some reason they don't have the water going to the wheel . Although they have put a new roof and siding on it and it really looks great, so hopefully the water supply will be restored 🤞yes sir it makes amazing cornbread, thanks for sharing Donnie 👍
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome.

Awesome my friend. Glad you enjoy them. Thank you. Your very welcome.
I was blessed to get to spend a week in the Smokies in 2017 and it was absolutely breathtaking how beautiful the area is. We visited the mill and I really enjoyed getting to see how it all worked. Walking along the stream was probably my favorite part of that day though. It’s so peaceful out there. 🙂
Yes it is my friend. Thank you for sharing this. God bless you.
This makes me crave buckwheat cakes and homemade sausage! 😋 Thanks
Thanks for sharing this. Your very welcome my friend.

Thanks friend. This video was scheduled for release.
You're right Donnie there's nothing better than a good pan of cornbread and some butter. Beautiful video thanks for everything you do it takes me back to my childhood. I spent many a day watching that m i l l work we used to go up Cades Cove all the time when I was a kid. Going to have to go back and see that place again. Again thanks for the video
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing. Your very welcome.
Enjoyed the history of the grit mill. Cades Cove is a beautiful place.

You my brother are an absolute gem of these mountains. Just know I truly appreciate all your wisdom
Thank you so much for sharing this my friend.
Where I live in Ohio Lancaster Ohio actually on south end of town way before our time a creek in near called tarhe run now but years ago was called carpenter run after carpenter family in the 1800s had a grist mill which years ago with son I think I found it’s old foundation but it’s so totally lost local history I don’t think anyone remembers but I knew of cause of old county books I found at local library YEARS ago then I found em on eBay and got em. I just love local history of my “home” town and of cades cove/seveirville, pigeon forge, smoky mountains area.❤ thank you so much youtube for finding your videos and thank you sir for your videos most of all. Makes me miss Tennessee so so much yet I feel like I’m back to my secondary home watching your videos❤. We have a original grist mill still stands in Fairfield county Ohio plus a covered bridge i so love covered bridges too but it’s been restored and alot of folk lore with that grist mill and the beginning of the hocking river. I was on front page of lancaster newspaper in the 80s on that bridge field trip nose all bandaged up and super cute older girl kissing me on the cheek🤣. I’ll have to see if my Gma white has that news article lol. My mom God rest her soul cracked up for days over it😂
WOW Thanks for sharing this information my friend.
Saw the mill 2 weeks ago. Awesome!
Thank you Donnie for sharing God bless
Your very welcome my friend.
What a wonderful video. God has blessed us with all this beauty. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you friend. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing Donnie. I love those old grist mills.
Thank you friend. Your very welcome.
So many treasured memories of the past. Thank you Donnie for keeping old historical places alive and for showing this younger generation the steps that were involved into grinding cornmeal. Now days you just go to the grocery store and buy it , without thinking where it came from. Your right about hot buttered cornbread, buttermilk and cornbread is good too .
Stay safe and blessed.
That's so true my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this. God bless you. Your very welcome.
That really is the invention from someone that is a deep thinker. An original inventor for sure. Thanks for showing how this invention works. Understanding this helps us to see inside the mind of a brilliant man. Thanks for sharing, your friend Louise
Goid bless you Donnie for recording another piece of history.
Thank you so much for sharing this my friend.

Awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
That cornbread looks fantastic! 🤤
Imagine the stories that have been told in and around that old mill. The history!
That is something to think about my friend.

Awesome my friend. Thank you. Your very welcome.
Thanks for the videos and the history! Cade's Cove is my favorite place to go for a true relaxing and heartwarming visit, I absolutely love this place and the history about it and the people who were in my opinion, fortunate enough to live here and the love that they had for it.

I love going into the old building especially when they are still being productive 🥰
Such a beautiful historic place and video Donnie.....with the view up Mill creek and all....I could see doing some fishing off that log off the bank....there's something so peaceful about these old mills ...I believe it would do our country alot of good to keep in touch with the old ways like the grist mills , and keep ready for service what steam power we have left as well , as these things need no grid ....

Hi Donnie. I got a highlighted reply and it said to text you on telegram. I thought I’d ask because sometimes people pretend to be the CZcamsr and it’s not them. If it was you how do I go about using telegram. I’ve never used it before.
Please don't answer that my friend. It's a scam bot. It's not me.
@@donnielaws7020 I won’t. And I didn’t. It’s good I contacted you! Have a good day.
Thank you friend. You can't trust anyone. I deleted it and reported it to.
Like other comments point out this history wouldn't be known to us without you sharing this thank you. We all know smokey mountains but your showing the people's stories that went with it I really love learning that must have been something to live that way few hundred years ago.
It was a hard life my friend, but simple. Your very welcome. God bless you.
It reminded me of Hansons Lumber mill, from "The Little House on the prairie" 👍
Thanks for sharing this my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 Thank you my friend for all of the delights that you present on your channel 👏
THANK YOU DONNIE... They used to sell in bags of cornmeal ...I hope that they still do!
We (my third husband and two youngest out of three step children) were there in summer of 2016 stayed in a motel in Sevierville and I’m such a nature nut I wanted us to get out and drive around didn’t care just headed to the woods so to speak, my step children were 12 and 16 at the time they and their dad didn’t do nature driving without a GPS so I told them to turn down this road and I mean it was a beautiful adventure, we stopped at the primitive church and on to cable mill (which until this video I didn’t know what it was called) took pictures of it all. I’m from Texas born and raised my two kids same and now my daughter and her family live in Tennessee and my son is in Mississippi our family heritage way way back when is Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama I guess in our own way we’re going back home. I will live there in the future myself. I am so glad I stumbled upon these videos while I was researching Tennessee.
Awesome my friend. Thanks for your story. God bless you.
Donnie when I was young I worked in a metal fab shop I welded up a water Wheel from start to finish and it was a lot of work . I also was hunting some land we rented and found a pile of them old mill stones in a gully I would like to had one but it was to heavy to carry I was told there had been a old mill there at one time . !! ❤😊
That's awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Thanks Donnie 🤗❤️
Your very welcome my friend.
Thanks, Donnie, for the history lesson but, I reckon, I need to mosey back home and put on a pan of cornbread for supper. Blessings to you.
Awesome my friend. Your very welcome.
You need to look up Justin Metcalf here on CZcams. He is in Mars Hill in Madison County, North Carolina. He dresses millstones and has even built his own mill. His channel is called Metcalf Mills
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you Donnie
Your very welcome my friend.
