Above and below are photos of the ceiling in the Cades Cove Primitive Baptist Church. Constructed in 1887, the ceiling was put in place by builders who used bear grease on their hands to protect them against the rough boards. Those greasy handprints are still very visible today as you can see.
Although, organized much earlier, this building was not constructed until 1887. Behind the church is the grave yard. You can find the grave of Russell Gregory back there.
Beautiful inlay work on this gravestone.
Inside the Missionary Baptist Church the alter is well lit. A brick cross is on the floor where a wood stove used to sit.
