3. Locating these communities of mountain structures near the camp grounds would facilitate their administration and protection. These locations would make it possible to contact the greatest number of _ ^~opv| righted Material ■ " Great Smokxj Mountains Two types of groupingrhe units are proposed in order that full advantage can be taken of existing material and conditions. I - Reconstructed and reorganized communities. Groups in which the various units would be moved and restored in natural settings in the areas selected for the field museums. II - Reconstructed existing groups. These are groups of existing buildings vAiich because of their orientation and adjacent features may be properly administered and lend themselves to loop trips from points where tourists may reach them under the direction of a Ranger-Naturalist. (See pages 16 to 22). The area in which these communities are restored should be large and diversified enough to permit each unit to have its proper setting and preserve the feeling of isolation characteristic of all groups of structures found in the mountains. Old roads, foot trails and bridges should be maintained in their original condition where possible. The various structures should be restored along these old roads and trails. Aside from their importance as a historical feature these roads will invite the tourist to further exploration and Investigation. This will result in the tourist spending more time in the museum. Each community should include several groups of domestic buildings. These groups will make it possible to show how difference in topography and the forest, affected the construction and the number of buildings in these groups. These domestic groups should include one room cabins, two story houses, barns, cribs, apple houses, spring houses, smoke houses, blacksmith shops and pig pens, all of which are constructed of logs. Frame buildings, in which
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 28-page book, “Study for the Preservation of Mountain Culture,” was written by Charles S. Grossman (1900-1972) for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. An architect by trade, Grossman worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps, but spent most of his time on historic preservation. In the 1930s, he began an inventory of existing structures in the park, cataloguing more than 1,500 structures. This 1937 report highlighted the results of the historic buildings survey and advocated for a “policy or program to preserve this wealth of material” before “it is destroyed and lost.” Grossman rightfully concluded that much could be learned about pioneer life from studying its material culture.
