During the early 1900's, visitors from the city journeyed to Blue Ridge by train to enjoy the health resort's pure mineral waters. Today, growing numbers of tourists are coming to historic Blue Ridge and McCaysville to shop for Appalachian arts and crafts, pottery, quilts, antiques, mountain home furnishings, apples, smoked trout-- even hand-made alpaca sweaters and shawls. Artists are attracted to the Georgia mountains because the peace and quiet, misty mountains and clear starry nights provide time, tranquility and inspiration for creating wonderful art, from tradition art and craft to contemporary painting and sculpture.
Blue Ridge is the place where serious antique shoppers can spend hours or days browsing
through a growing number of shops and antique malls from Blue Ridge to McCaysville and back.
Blue Ridge's Main Street is dotted with unique specialty shops, galleries and eateries from
one end to the other. You can furnish a mountain cabin from top to bottom with period
antiques, mountain furnishings and handmade twig furniture in the blink of an eye.
