Cultural Treasures
Visit one of the many places that are part of the Blue Ridge Heritage Trail, 69 natural and cultural sites whose stories, told on interpretive signage, convey the rich history of the people and the land of the region. This heritage is so important to the history of North Carolina and America that Congress designation the 25 westernmost counties as the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. The Trail signs can be found throughout the region and along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
