Neighborhood highlights
Bakersville is a small mountain town with a thriving arts community which includes several art galleries and hundreds of local artists. It is located near the prestigious Penland School of Craft in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. This idyllic small town offers abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation, a temperate climate, an enjoyable and relaxed lifestyle, and friendly people.
Located in Mitchell County, on beautiful NC Highway 226, Bakersville is approximately a 1-hour drive from Asheville, ski towns such as Boone and Banner Elk, and the college town of Johnson City, TN.
The nearby town of Burnsville is nestled in a valley surrounded by the highest peaks in eastern America, including Mt. Mitchell. Its small downtown is dominated by the Town Square with towering trees. Burnsville is located 35 miles northeast of Asheville, along the Mt. Mitchell Scenic Byway. The Mount Mitchell Crafts Fair transforms Burnsville’s historic downtown into a festival affair for craft and art lovers, with more than 150 juried crafters displaying and selling.
Find the area's 200 Quilt Blocks installed on the sides of barns and buildings throughout the countryside and villages. Nine driving trails take you to view the vividly painted squares.
The TRAC (Toe River Arts Council) Gallery exhibits work from over 100 artists in a variety of media: clay, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, fiber, wood, sculpture, mixed media, and more. TRAC sponsors the Toe River Studio Tour twice a year. Over 100 studios and galleries are represented in this free, self-guided tour.
Visit local farmers markets and farms to purchase fresh produce of the season & delicious homemade treats. And in late November and December, cut your own mountain-grown Christmas tree.
