Located around an hour outside of the popular city of Asheville, the town of Morganton could be considered a hidden gem of western North Carolina and an area that has been nicknamed as “Nature’s Playground.” With many outdoor adventures to be had right outside of the main part of town, Morganton is home to its fair share of fun things to do, such as picking your own blueberries at Perry's Berry's, tasting wines at Silver Fork Winery, indulging on cider donuts at the Apple Hill Orchard and Cider Mill, and more.
