OLD FASHIONED

 

 

 

The old Tipton Place in Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains:

 

Miss Lucy and Miss Lizzie, were schoolmarms in Cades Cove

in the second half of the 1800's. They were daughters of Colonel Hamp Tipton,

a veteran of the revolutionary war, who shortly after the Civil War, built this two story home.

The Smoky Mountain homestead he built, eventually included a smokehouse,

a woodshed, corn crib, blacksmith shop, cantilever barn, and an apiary for bees.

Tipton sold land to and hence was surrounded by many of his family and friends.

"Home is the one place in all this world

where hearts are sure of each other.

It is the place of confidence.

It is the place where we tear off that mask

of guarded and suspicious coldness

and where we pour out the unreserved communications

of full and confiding hearts.

It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out

without any sensation of awkwardness

and without any dread of ridicule."

~ Frederick W. Robertson (1816-1853),

English reformer and minister
