  • SMOKY MOUNTAIN HANOCffAFTERS 5HQP 1 : iN A PICTDREiOL . - " .;->.X OftNER Of WEAVING ROOM JktaaB Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the Foot of LeConte FOR many years the little village of Gatlinburg was just another "settlement" at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains. But now, with LeConte towering above it, Gatlinburg, at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is sharing in the fame that is the heritage of all East Tennessee. Here the Smoky Mountain Handcrafters, in their shop built of uncut native stone, present a display of hand-woven materials, including scarfs, window curtains, towels, and other novelties of linens, silks, cottons and woolens. Most of the weaving is done in the mountain homes, but looms are also shown in operation in the shop, where a huge stone fireplace adds beauty and suggests hospitality. MOUNTAIN VIEW INN, GATLINBURG, TENNESSEE, WHERE THOUSANDS OF VISITORS TO THE PARK FIND DELIGHTFUL ACCOMMODATIONS EVERY YEAR. A. J. HUFF, MANAGER AND OWNER.
