Ed Trout Historic Structures Report DRAFT Great Smoky Mountains National Park National Park Service Page 12 •..• WOODY HOUSE Some homes seem never to stop growing. The Woody house began as a oneroom log cabin and became what you see today. There was a good reason for that. Jonathan Woody entered Cataloochee long before the Civil War, moved back out for a while, and returned in about 1866. By then a widower, he and his new wife, Mary Ann Neyland Caldwell, a widow, arrived with his kids and her kids. This increased the population of Cataloochee abruptly and substantially. With all of this free farm labor the 1870 census showed a marked increase in the value and output of the original Woody homestead. By 1900 or so there were several generations of Woodys living here. Major outbuildings now surrounded the home: a barn, smokehouse, corn crib and so on. Thus it was necessary and convenient to think about enlarging the house itself. The 4-room framed addition went up between 1901 and 1906. This spread the folks out a bit. Then the kitchen was added about 1910. The home now accommodated the family comfortably and even had room left over for occasional boarders. The early decades of this century were bustling ones. Steve Woody was now head of the household, his father Jonathan having died in 1894. All eight kids slept upstairs in the old soldiers' room, as the principal dormitory was called. Each morning, their mother's grinding coffee downstairs served as an alarm clock. After breakfast everyone set about doing the farm and household chores. The more ordinary work was relieved by occasional supplementary tasks that produced extra cash income: gathering chestnuts, or . . Page 13 .... robbing the 100 or so beehives for honey. Hunting was a significant source of meat: deer, bear, raccoon and squirrel. Fresh fish were easy to take from the stream in front of the house. Trapping was a frequent Woody practice, as the house was the last one on the road at the edge of the wilderness even after 1900. Wolves were common predators that raised havoc with the sheep, so a bounty of $2-10 per scalp was paid by the county court. The extra money was welcome. Like many Cataloochee families, the Woodys began to take advantage of tourism that spilled into the lovely valley. They stocked the streams on their land with rainbow trout, beginning about 1905. Fishermen paid for the use of the stream. Sightseers and vacationers from nearby counties boarded in the home I ~ (and sometimes the barn) for 25-50¢ per night. At times there were upwards of 15 cars in the yard at a time. The Woodys, as their neighbors, saw the times changing and took advantage of it. The house is a good example of that: a progressive twentieth century structure with a frontier cabin heart. \ _ __,
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 151.5 acres in Cataloochee tracts 209 and 209a were owned by Jonathan Woody. Along with these documents are several photographs relating to the tracts. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
