Description
to grandmother's house we go! Captured along the hike to the ghost town of Proctor in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this cottage is now abandoned after the town of Proctor was flooded when the Fontana Dam was built in the 1940's. The whole town of Judson was submerged in water and communities like Hazel Creek, Proctor, Sugar Fork, and Medlin were cut off from the outside world because the lake covered the only access road, but some of the old cemeteries, chimneys, and roads still remain which will fascinate any history buff. Hazel Creek was and is an enchanted land for the folks who lived there.
