The North Carolina mountains are blessed with many special places that represent outstanding examples of the region’s cultual and natural heritage. Eighty sites were designated as such in 1996 by the Governor’s Year of the Mountains Commission.
These sites are shown on this interactive map and have been sorted into trails representing the major heritage themes of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. All of the sites are profiled on our website.
