Yancey County, located in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, is a unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and a vibrant arts community.

The area is renowned for its outdoor appeal, anchored by Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, and is home to over 600 artists whose crafts are celebrated through events such as the Toe River Studio Tour and Mt. Mitchell Crafts Fair. Yancey County invites visitors to experience its authentic culture, where the past and present beautifully intertwine.
