Description
The John P. Cable mill was built as a grist mill in the early 1870's in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountaines. It is an overshot water wheel/gravity wheel, meaning that water enters the wheel at the top and gravity pulls the water to its exit at the bottom of the turn of the wheel. It uses water from Mill Creek to power the wheel and a connecting channel was dug to Forge Creek to help provide water when the levels were low.
They also used the water wheel to power a saw mill which changed building construction in the cove from Log to lumber and frame.
The mill is still in use today as a grist mill and its stone ground corn meal can be purchased in the nearby store.
