Support Cades Cove

CADES COVE PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION

The Cades Cove Preservation Association, Inc. (CCPA) has been established to
preserve the heritage of the Cades Cove community, located in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park.

Membership is open to everyone who is interested in helping preserve the
heritage of the Cove. Many members are descendants of the old Cades Cove
families, but membership is open to everyone.

CCPA members will be admitted free to the July 21 Smoky Mountain Homecoming
event, and they will not have to pay the normal admission fee to enter the
museum. The CCPA membership fee is $15, and you may join their organization
in advance by US Mail. Admission to the July 21 event costs 3$-4$, but for
the extra $11-$12 you will get much more, and you will be helping preserve
the heritage. A membership application is available on the organization's
website:

The CCPA home/Museum is at the Alnwick Community Center, 2146 Big Springs
Road, Maryville, TN, just off scenic Highway 321 on the way to the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park and "just over the ridge and down the road a
piece" from the Cades Cove Community. This home provides them with a
facility to share a representative collection of artifacts, photographs &
other items from their heritage as a "welcome wagon" offering to new
neighbors in their surrogate Cades Cove Community.

The CCPA is a nonprofit organization registered in Tennessee. Membership is
available to all interested individuals and organizations. Contributions of
encouragement, ideas, effort, influence and funding are appreciated.
Oversight is provided by a Board of Directors. Although bylaws require
elected officers to be directly descended from former residents, the CCPA is
critically dependent on the participation of all members and supporting
organizations.

The CCPA invites all individuals and organizations who share their
objectives to establish residency in their surrogate Cades Cove community.

Their motto is "We will Preserve the Heritage TOGETHER."
