Yancey County, North Carolina

Mount Mitchell and Burnsville crafts heritage - from Mount Mitchell State Park (at 6,684 feet, Mount Mitchell is the highest peak east of the Mississippi River, located in Yancey County's Black Mountains - the summit's spruce-fir forest, frequent clouds, and panoramic views across the southern Appalachians make it one of North Carolina's most visited natural destinations and a landmark of eastern American geography) to Burnsville's arts and crafts community (the small mountain town of Burnsville has developed a vibrant community of potters, weavers, woodworkers, and fine artists whose studios and the Penland School of Crafts - one of America's premier craft education centers - have made Yancey County a destination for craft arts enthusiasts).
