ANTIQUES

NC Mountains

No visit to the Blue Ridge would be complete without taking time to browse through one of the many “junque” shops.

All along the country roads that wind through the Carolina Blue Ridge, you’ll discover antique shops and auctions where treasures from many eras can still be found at flea market prices.

Dedicated antique shoppers spend hours or days hunting through a growing number of shops and antique malls from the High Country to the Foothills.

Antiques

Antiquing is a fancy term for driving through the countryside and stopping in towns that you might not stop in otherwise just to poke around among things you might not notice, a little worn, a little beaten up, but built to last. The inventories of antiques shops in the Carolina Blue Ridge spill out onto the sidewalks and shop porches and consist of just the right ratio of trash to treasure.

North Carolina Blue Rigde Mountains Travel book A Guide to the Historic Architecture of Western North Carolina (Richard Hampton Jenrette Series in Architecture and the Decorative Arts)


This portable field guide to the historic architecture of western North Carolina covers 1,200 historic buildings in 25 counties in the foothills and mountains. It introduces readers to the region's rich and diverse architectural heritage—from the log farmstead to the opulent mountain retreat, and from ancient earthen mounds of the Cherokee to twentieth-century hydroelectric dams and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Featuring more than 370 photographs and 36 maps, the guide is written for travelers and residents alike. It offers concise entries on notable buildings, neighborhoods, and communities, emphasizing buildings that are visible from the road and indicating sites that are open to the public.

A project of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office of the Division of Archives and History and its western office in Asheville, the book reflects more than twenty-five years of fieldwork and research in the agency's statewide architectural survey and National Register of Historic Places programs. A previous volume covers eastern North Carolina and a future volume will cover the piedmont region.
