Greenbrier Schoolhouse & Cemetery

Nestled back in the thick Smoky Mountain forest is the odd combination of schoolhouse and cemetery. The school building has some of the largest logs you will ever see in an old building and is a testimony to the fine craftsmanship that went into it. The cemetery has a hodgepodge of scattered graves, most of which are impossible to read anymore. To get to this peculiar combination of life and death all wrapped up into one, a nice wooded walk is pleasant and well worth the effort. (Note: the foreshortened perspective in the image makes everything appear closer together than what they actually are.)
