This 123-acre tract 214 in Cataloochee was owned by Eldredge Caldwell. The Caldwell House in Big Cataloochee is among the few preserved structures that remain today. The house was built between 1898 and 1903 by Hiram Caldwell. The Caldwell Barn, adjacent to the house, was built in 1923. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
