In 1938, a young couple in their late twenties opened an inn in an isolated spot near the town of Letter from Audrey Bebb in 1938Gatlinburg which bordered the newly established Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Douglas and Audrey Bebb had completed their university studies shortly after the collapse of the financial markets which ushered in the Great Depression.
Like so many young men during this period, Doug had found employment hard to come by, and he had traveled throughout the country doing odd jobs, fishing for salmon off the West Coast and later working at the Chicago Exposition of 1933-34.

Buckhorn Inn was founded in 1938 by Douglas Bebb (1907-1984) and his wife Audrey Bebb (1911-1950).
Douglas Bebb and his wife Audrey became interested in the Smokies because of Doug's parents, amateur botanists, who visited the newly established Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the early 1930s.
They encouraged Doug and Audrey to develop an inn in this new tourist destination.
Availing himself of his parents' help, he and Audrey bought a 25 acre site on which he built and developed Buckhorn Inn, the third oldest establishment in Gatlinburg and the oldest accommodation establishment still operating in Sevier County today.
