Here are some pictures from Smoky Mountain National Park. The first ones are from the demonstration farm near the south gate at Cherokee. The buildings are all original structures that have been moved to the site from other parts of the park when the park was founded in the 1930s.
Any resemblance to Pearl (oink, oink) is purely coincidental.
The others are from Mingus Mill, which was built in the late 1870s and is still used to grind wheat and corn. The water is diverted from a stream through the long trough and into the mill. The guys were grinding while we were there, and when they shut down the grinder the guy had to go out and move a tiller that sent the water back into the stream.
