Ghost Towns in NE North Carolina! Mostly abandoned!

[@P_RO_]

Nice to see someone recording the history before it all goes back to nature. I'm in SC at the opposite end of NC. Most of the towns established here remain, though some have lost their 'city' status and are just communities now. Some bigger towns got hurt badly when textiles died and are just a shell of what they once were. On a cross-country trip back in '91 I saw a lot of dying small towns in the great plains along the backroads whose economic reason for existing was no longer valid. I'm guessing many of the towns are empty now. Good buildings, good roads, no people and no real reason for anyone to be there anymore. Kind of sad watching life fade away like that.

That's why I do this. Hate losing history. I am always fascinated by old stuff and the way people lived back in the day. Thanks for watching!👍

[@claybroberts9699]

I went back and did more research. The closest I could find was that the brother and sister were keepers there for awhile. These two ladies were long time residents. Thanks for your comment.

I took my family to Chimney Rock mountain in North Carolina. There is another mountain directly across the river. No one could tell me the name of the other mountain. Our beautiful cabin was at the base of the unnamed mountain. We decided to go up the unnamed mountain. It got dark. We encountered a small ghost town. I am from New York City. I decided to not be in a slasher movie and turned my giant SUV with my family around on a Mountain Road. 😊😮. I love the Chimney Rock Inn and am looking to go back but like most tourist attractions I will not venture off exploring. ⛰

[@claybroberts9699]

Chimney Rock is gorgeous. I'm not familiar with the other mountain. I understand that there are several ghost towns in the mountains and the Great Smoky National Park. I do my exploring during the day. My dad was born and raised in Queens. Thanks for the comments!

[@georgebrown2175]

@@claybroberts9699 The other mountain is right there. My family arrived at night and I was puzzled by the lights in the sky. That next morning I walked out on the patio of my cabin and saw the most beautiful site ever. Chimney Rock and that unnamed mountain.

@@georgebrown2175 An old friend of mine and his wife use to manage a motel in Gerton North Carolina called Mountain Meadows just a few miles down the road from chimney Rock. Beautiful country!
