There were two Social Clubs, and 40 plus cabins, which were once packed with summer partyers, steam trains, and loggers, making this little town at one time very vibrant, loud, and alive with activity Many of the cabin owners were Knoxville socialites, who mixed it up with the local mountain folk, at the ball field, swimming hole, and Hotel, where moonshine flowed as swiftly as the nearby Little River. Of course, fishing was a common activity, as well as Sunday celebrations, complete with a barn-storming Bi-Plane Pilot by the name of Rooster, who crashed his plane unceremoniously, while showing off for the crowd.
