The Scottish Tartans Museum
Ever wonder where all those plaids came from? And why? Visit the Scottish Tartans Museum & Heritage Center in Franklin, NC to learn both the ancient history of the Scottish tartans as well as our more recent Scotch-Irish heritage of the early settlers of our little corner of the mountains here in the Appalachian mountains.

Little pond, big fish!
Here at Gili's Cove Cottage and Blackwell Branch Cabin, our guests can enjoy fishing in Serenity Pond right outside their back door. It's the perfect spot to mess around with your new tackle, to help the kids land their first fish

Family Farms in Appalachia
There are many things we don't have here in our little corner of the mountains-- Walmart, strip malls, highways and traffic lights-- but one of the things we do have is easy, local access to some of the finest, freshest fruits and vegetables imaginable. Late Spring is the season for fresh, locally grown strawberries. Early summer is when all the wonderful Farmer's Markets open and growers from the entire region gather to offer the bounty of their harvests. Here in our little community of Hayesville, NC we're blessed with SMM Farms, a family farm owned and operated by folks who have called Hayesville and Clay county home for several generations. Meet Salvador and Alyssa and their family in this wonderful article that details the risks and rewards of operating a family farm here in the western North Carolina mountains.
