Reviews
"I'm thrilled to share my experience at John P Cable Drive Thru Barn! This historical gem in Cades Cove Mill Area is captivating. It had two stalls on either side for animals and a hollowed-out space in the middle to cool the barn. The drive-through center area was also used to keep wagons full of hay or farm equipment out of the rain. Don't miss it while visiting the mill area."
"It’s ok"
"Well-preserved barn."
"This design was done in order to force a draft of air through the middle for cooling during the hot summer months. It is common on a lot of the early log-cabin structures in TN"
