Everything You Never Knew About Dollywood


9. The Grist Mill Was Made by Hand

Upon entering the amusement park, you’ll notice a huge grist mill. It was built in the 80s, but it really looks like something that was constructed back in the 1800s. The mill was built by talented, local craftsman who split the shingles by hand and hardware was created on-site by local blacksmiths. The logs on the face of the structure were also hewed by hand, and the lumber was milled at the park’s sawmill. Many leather smiths, glass blowers, and pottery makers are also employed in the park’s Craftsman’s Valley.
