Tapoco Lodge Historic District
Tapoco Lodge Historic District, Mountain lodge complex in Graham County, United States.
The Colonial Revival lodge spans 122 acres along the Cheoah River, featuring a main building, guest cabins, and recreational facilities within the Nantahala National Forest.
The Tallassee Power Company constructed the lodge in 1930 to house workers managing hydroelectric projects, gradually expanding facilities throughout subsequent decades.
The restored Tin Can Theater within the complex hosted community gatherings during World War II, representing the social connection among power company employees.
The lodge provides nine rooms in the main building, eighteen cabin accommodations, two restaurants including Tapoco Tavern, and access to hiking and water activities.
The property sits minutes from The Tail of the Dragon, a road section containing 318 curves across 11 miles of mountain terrain.
