Reviews of Cades Cove Primitive Baptist Church
"Nice quiet church in cades cove. Little pathway to walk and look at the graves of old and new. Be sure to purchase a parking pass if you will be parked for more than 15 mins unless you have a handicap sticker or tag then you can park for free."
"What a cool place to check out the history of the area. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, this church and Cemetery have a ton of historical things to look at. I love reading the information on the gravestones. Some of them have been there so long that everything has been worn off due to the weather conditions."
"The Primitive Baptist church was founded by John Oliver and the original members of Cades Cove. The church is original, but so is the graveyard. There are so many old graves; we even saw a Revolutionary War veteran, and a War of 1812 veteran, buried there."
"This beautiful historic church is located in the heart of Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is definitely worth getting off the beaten path to explore."
"The Cades Cove Primitive Baptist Church is a captivating piece of history! Established in 1827, it stands as a testament to the past in this enchanting cove. It was the first church in Cades Cove. The rustic charm of the benches and the altar exudes the essence of early church life. Don't miss the serene cemetery at the back. A must-visit for history enthusiasts!"
