The CCPA is a nonprofit organization registered in Tennessee. Membership is available to all interested individuals and organizations. Contributions of encouragement, ideas, effort, influence and funding are appreciated. Oversight is provided by a Board of Directors. Although bylaws require elected officers to be directly descended from former residents, the CCPA is critically dependent on the participation of all members and supporting organizations. The CCPA invites all individuals and organizations who share our objectives to establish residency in our surrogate Cades Cove community.
We will “Preserve the Heritage” TOGETHER.
Our Mission
The Cades Cove Preservation Association, Inc. (CCPA) has been established to preserve the heritage of the Cades Cove community, located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The CCPA site has many pages of Cades Cove photos (old & new), history, genealogy, current events about Cades Cove and the CCPA . If you would like to help the CCPA in preserving the past, for the future, we welcome you as a member in our Cades Cove surrogate community. Thank you for visiting.

The home for the CCPA is at the Alnwick Community Center
2146 Big Springs Road, Maryville, TN
Just off scenic Hwy. 321 on the way to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and "just over the ridge and down the road a piece" from our Cades Cove Community. This home provides us with a facility to share a representative collection of artifacts, photographs & other items from our heritage as a "welcome wagon" offering to new neighbors in our surrogate Cades Cove Community.
Residency/Membership in the surrogate Cades Cove Community of the CCPA is available for everyone desiring to join and who share our vision for preservation. Judy Johns is more than happy to extend a hand of welcome.
