Review:
The state’s foothills and mountains are so rich in history and culture that they have been designated a National Heritage Area. The Blue Ridge Heritage Trail offers travelers keen insight into the natural and cultural heritage sites throughout the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. The Trail consists of certain places throughout where photographs and words on interpretive signs at each site tell a story. Some of the topics covered are the Cherokee, agriculture, traditional music, and crafts.
Signs are posted at walkways to cultural, historic, and scenic sites, towns, cities and attractions as well as in state parks, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and at the state’s five Welcome Centers within the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.
