Smoky Mountains - Some faves

More will be posted later, but here are some of my faves for now.



Little Greenbrier School. It was amazing, just like the schoolhouse on Little House on the Prairie. It looked like it may have been a church as well. There was a little cemetery adjacent.

The little cemetery was so sad. There were several gravestones just like this that were memorials for infants. They didn't even live long enough to get names. There was one particularly sad row in the cemetery with stone after stone for the same family. Can you imagine? Baby after baby that died in less than six months, sometimes only days. How much sadness the pioneers must have endured!

The photos are lovely. Old graveyards are one of my favorite things.
