6 - HYATT LANE
This road crossed the Cove and joined the Cades Cove Road (Rich Mountain Road). It was a direct route out of the Cove from the south side for those going to Tuckaleechee and Maryville. Hyatt Lane is a two-way road, and can be used as a shortcut back to the campground or out of the Cove.
This structure and its furnishings were reportedly the work of one man. J. D. McCampbell, a blacksmith and carpenter, built it in 115 days of $115. Afterward, he became its preacher for many years.
Ladies and children entered through the left door, and men through the right one. A divider separated the two groups, causing frustration among courting couples.
