If you like southern diner food or an outdoor table where you can bring the kids and the dog, this is your joint. Popular with local firemen and EMTs.

This is a four star restaurant in an old inn where my grandparents spent their honeymoon a hundred years ago. It's also 1/2 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

A Family Favorite. Ashe County Cheese offers a great way to learn a little bit about cheese with the peer-in windows at the factory, and then walk across the street to buy cheese for all your friends. They have 20 varieties of cheese, some gift baskets, a candy store with barrels of many kinds of wrapped candy, and and ice cream counter where they also sell fudge. Ample parking diagonally across from the store.

This museum is carefully curated and fun to walk through. My favorite part is the Lionel train display between the towns in the early 1900s. I found a few of my oldest ancestors in news clippings.
Honestly we went there on a rainy day not expecting much and were impressed. There is a garden in the back growing fresh food for the local food bank.

This location just south of West Jefferson was a nice family-owned Christmas tree farm called Frosty's -- and that is still open in December. But now the same nice family opened a winery and indoor-outdoor event venue called Old Barn Winery. It's open Thu-Sun evenings all year round. They have live music. They sell some other local products. Check it out. There is some good European wine in this region of NC.
