MARYVILLE, Tenn. – Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials are offering a reward for information on the theft of a historic Elkmont window.
The Daily Times reports the antique window was discovered missing from a cabin in the Elkmont Historic District in January.
Park officials are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals responsible for the theft. The missing window was from the former summer home of a Knoxville glass maker.
The window’s intricate design included 34 individual glass panes, each measuring 4 inches by 4 inches.
“This is a very sad case of vandalism and theft,” said Chief Ranger Clay Jordan. “The people who did this have stolen a piece of our shared history that can never be replicated.”
