Histories and Culture
Great Smoky Mountains National Park preserves a rich cultural tapestry of Southern Appalachian history. The mountains have had a long human history spanning thousands of years—from the prehistoric Paleo Indians to early European settlement in the 1800s to loggers and Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees in the 20th century.
The park strives to protect the historic structures, landscapes, and artifacts that tell the varied stories of people who once called these mountains home.
Diverse Rich Heritage in the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains, North Carolina
| Located near to the adventurous town of Bryson City. Peak's Bald offers a wide array of outdoor activities, the area has earned national recognition as the "Outdoor Adventure Capital of the Smokies."

Also near is the popular Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Within the park's 550,000 acres can be found more types of plants, tress, and flowers than in the whole of the European continent. The western North Carolina Smokies retain much of their rural atmosphere and lack the intense development found in adjacent areas like Tennessee. Excellent back roads and hiking trails traverse the entire western North Carolina area and offer Glimpses of the Smokies not seen from major roads.
According to legend, the birthplace of the Cherokee Nation was a place called Kituwah. Today the Cherokee once again control this vital area of their heritage. The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians live on the Qualla Boundary in Eastern Swain County.
