Since 1869 travelers through these mountains looked for the familiar sight of a tall water plume, a man-made geyser, and a resort hotel tucked away at the base of the Blue Ridge this signaled the start of the long climb to Asheville through some of the most scenic terrain in North Carolina. In Old Fort, you won’t find tourist glitz or overdeveloped sprawl. Just real people, real beauty and real fun.

Old Fort has been devastated by Hurricane Helene and many of our businesses are struggling to rebuild. Your support is greatly appreciated during this difficult time.
