==History==
The defunct East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad formerly had a station in Chuckey.〔Molly O'Neill, (Coveted, French, and Now in Tennessee ), ''The New York Times'', February 27, 2007〕 The current brick train depot, built by the Southern Railway in 1906,〔 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Several farms in Chuckey that date from the community's earliest settlement in the 18th century are included in the Earnest Farms Historic District, also listed on the National Register. Just past the Earnest Farms Historic District sits an imposing ell-shaped brick mansion known as "Glaze Hall", built 1843–1849 by Lawrence Glaze, Jr.(1784–1849). The house sits on a rise overlooking the Nolichucky River, within sight of the old Smith Bridge.〔''History of Washington County, 1988'', Watauga Association of Geneologist〕 The bricks used to construct the mansion were all hand-fired on the farm. Both Lawrence Glaze, Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth, died from an illness in 1849 before the house was to be completed.〔
In the 1890s and early 1900s, Chuckey was home to aviation pioneer Edward Chalmers Huffaker (1856–1937). Trained as an engineer, Huffaker's 1895 paper, "The Value of Curved Surfaces in Flight," gained the attention of aviation enthusiast Octave Chanute, who helped Huffaker secure employment at the Smithsonian Institution. Huffaker worked with the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1901, but left after only one month due to consistent disagreement.〔(Finding Aid for Edward Chalmers Huffaker Papers ).
