Have you visited our iconic Old Mill Restaurant here in Pigeon Forge?

Did you know, the 1830 gristmill powering the site still grinds the cornmeal and flour used in the restaurant's bread, biscuits, and pancakes today.

Here are a few other notable facts about The Old Mill Restaurant:

Every plate, bowl, and salt shaker served at your table is handcrafted next door by local artisans at Pigeon River Pottery.

Built by Isaac Love, the mill sat beside his iron forge along the Little Pigeon River, the very forge that gave the city of Pigeon Forge its name.

In the early 1900s, a generator was installed inside the mill, providing electricity to neighboring homes until 1935.
Let us know if you've visited or plan to visit this famous Pigeon Forge spot while you're visiting the Great Smoky Mountains!

Also, "Here, kitty kitty" is not a recommended way to call the bobcats, but safely from the balcony of your rental cabin with a private pool might be acceptable!

Pspspspsps responsibly: A reminder that “looks like a giant stuffed animal” is not a scientific classification. Please don’t pet the fluffy cows, the extra fluffy cows, bears, marmots, or any other creature whose business card says “wild animal.” Do not feed them snacks, invite them home, or ask if they need a ride. If they’re in a rut, let them be. They’ll figure it out. Thanks for helping wildlife stay wild.
