Shopping

Maybe the 2nd most visited place after Biltmore. Something for everybody. Old timey, fun, touristy stuff, and some really nice, high quality clothes. Very serious camping/ hiking/ outdoors center on lower level. Don't leave town with out checking it out.

Amazing artistry by local craftspersons. But don't go to the store- go to the museum store on the Blue Ridge Parkway (not far). Most of us can't afford to buy anything, but the browsing will blow your mind!
