A laid-back rural lifestyle, connected by heritage and the outdoors.

The Yadkin and Reddies Rivers give the town its identity. The Great Outdoors offerings — trails, rivers, quiet mornings and long afternoons — are enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.

The town Library will loan you a fishing pole. Mountain biking trails begin minutes from downtown. Live music at the Market, the Wilkes Art Gallery, and performances by the Wilkes Playmakers at historic Benton Hall round out a full weekend.

A gathering place… living starts here.
