From the Water’s Edge to the Mountain Road
A Curated Life where NC begins
Along the banks of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers to the shores of nearby lakes, you’ll find breathtaking sunsets, walkable downtown streets, and a warm, welcoming spirit.
Nestled along the Tennessee and Georgia borders, Murphy, North Carolina is more than just a scenic mountain town; we’re a vibrant community of artists, outdoor adventurers, and progressive entrepreneurs.
This is where NC begins, geographically and creatively. Western North Carolina offers a rich tapestry
of independent boutiques, chef-driven restaurants, local breweries, and artisan galleries, all framed by a backdrop of historic architecture and Appalachian heritage.
Here, in the far western corner of the state, you’ll find a deep cultural current flowing through events like First Friday Art Walks and performances at Cherokee County Arts Council, Murphy Spring Festival, live music on Center Stage, and celebrations hosted by downtown businesses throughout the seasons.
Our tri-county region is also home to the beloved John C. Campbell Folk School, Elf School of the Arts, Olive’s Porch, Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center, Peacock Performing Arts Center, and Open Studios at Cherokee County Arts Council of NC, drawing artists and visitors from across the region and throughout the world to learn a new craft or deepen their appreciation for the arts.
Join us as we explore mountain communities where rivers meet, creatives thrive, and life is lived with intention.
