This is probably one of the most photographed cabins in Cades Cove because if the scenic spot in which it is located.
The Carter Shields Cabin is believed to have been built in the 1830s. George Washing "Carter" Shields, a veteran of the Civil War who was crippled in the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, called the cabin his home from 1910-1921.
