Enjoy outstanding summer theatre, movies, and
concerts. Prospect for real gems and learn
about the local mining and mineral history. Ab-
sorb some of the country’s finest scenery on
our numerous back-road drives. Dare to power
off that cell phone! For a peaceful place to un-
plug and unwind look no further than Yancey
County.
It’s a good life we share. Here we live with a
conscientious awareness of the rugged, gentle
beauty of our land. Stroll around Main Street,
alive with many fine shops, galleries and cafes.
On Saturday mornings head to the local Farm-
ers Market where everything for sale has been
grown or prepared by the folks selling it. With
charming inns, bed & breakfasts, motels, fine
camping, good places to eat and to shop, and
activity from vigorous to sedate, there’s no bet-
ter “base camp” for exploration than Burnsville.
At your doorstep are enough rewarding diver-
sions to fill a vacation, or a season…or a lifetime.
We’re pleased to share its bounty with you!
