Broom making goes back to the
beginning as pioneers provided for
themselves with every day necessities.
As visitors came to the Smokies to
vacation they were intrigued with the
"locals" and their ways, they were very
interested in purchasing their novel
items such as a handmade broom. They
saw them as unique pieces of art and
couldn't wait to take it home and hang it
on the wall for decoration. You'll still
meet the 3rd generation broom maker
today when you visit.
