The Abandoned Elkmont Ghost Town in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an exploration worth taking. Understanding the story behind this once-thriving mountain community makes a day trip from Gatlinburg Tennessee even more interesting. On this discovery quest, we are in the deep of the Great Smokies exploring this old tourist town that was left behind, not so long ago, to see what we can uncover.

Learning about how all of this came to be, as found here today, is a vital factor in truly appreciating and understanding the remains of the historic cabins and mountain-folk that once called this area home. A truly remarkable piece of history that set the early bar for tourism to the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks.

Only miles from downtown Gatlinburg, not too far at all from Pigeon Forge, Wears Valley, Townsend, or just about any of the central vacationing hot spots in Eastern Tennessee. Let us share its history with you and show you first-hand our exploration from this abandoned ghost town that was partly preserved but mostly demolished later in time by the National Parks.

A ghost town, abandoned cottages, the stone remains of cabin homes, a mystical troll bridge, and a whole lot more is in store during this one.

Come learn all about this area in the next episode of Quest Capsule:
The Mystery and History of Elkmont Ghost Town - Abandoned & Demolished Mountain Town in the Smokies

    This is very interesting and it's very sad to see these historic houses crumbling.
  • Cool video... relaxing to watch & listen too.. what musician is singing? Almost sounds like Bruce Springsteen... haunting music that fits perfectly...Thanks for sharing!
  • I have pictures of the WONDERLAND and the cottage’s before they tore them down. It was so sad to see everything down.
  • I have thoroughly enjoyed binging your vlogs. They are so peaceful, informative and positive. You need to be picked up by someone and have your own road show documentaries. You and Sarah keep it real.

    Really enjoyed watching the video. We have explored Daisy Town and sat in those rockers to get a sense of what was once a thriving vacation spot. Am so glad there is restoring of cabins going on. Looking forward to exploring the other section of Elkmont after I watch your second part. Thank you for posting!
  • Production quality very good in your videos! I think this would be a fun explore with my family.
