he course of the highway from the Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park winds along the mountains of Western North Carolina. In the heart of this scenic grandeur the traveler comes upon the town of Burnsville. Here it was over one hundred years ago that the intrepid pioneers perpetuated the memory of Otway Burns, statesman and naval hero, by bestowing his name upon this village. In the center of the public square his statue silently guards the little city. Reminiscent of the early days, stands the Nu-Wray Inn. Original logs held together with locust pins, still forming a part of the present edifice, typify traditions of a bygone day that still linger in the atmosphere of the household. Within its walls the same family for three generations has preserved the true spirit of Southern hospitality. Here it is that home-cured ham, fried chicken and hot biscuits await you. The motorist surely must tarry in this spot from sheer delight. Within the pockets of these hills lies a complete mineral museum. Heavily wooded hill-sides carpeted with mountain flowers form a lasting picture. Roaring waterfalls pierce the silence of the woods. Make this Inn your headquarters from which to visit many points of interest in the surrounding country side: Mt. Mitchell, highest peak east of the Mississippi River. The summit is reached by driving over a portion of the famous BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY. This drive has unsurpassed views of The Black Brothers, Mt. Celo, and The Roan, all over 6,000 feet high. Nearby is Craggy Rhododendron Gardens, acres of blossoming beauty. You may continue on the Parkway through Little Switzerland, to Linville Gorge and Linville Falls, the only box canyon in Eastern America, and on into the Blowing Rock Country. You can’t fail to make a visit to Daniel Boone’s Forge, located in the town of Burnsville. Daniel VI is a direct descendant of the illustrious woodsman, and has achieved nation wide fame for his skill as an artisan in wrought iron. Just twenty miles away is The Penland School of Handicrafts. Here students and teachers work together—by the potter’s wheel, in the metal shop and at the loom. If you have the urge to create with your hands—don'’t fail to visit this school. From Penland you should go on to Hawk, to see Roby Buchanan, the gem cutter, and his shop. This is a sight to behold! Beautiful native stones, cut and set in exquisite mountings of gold and silver in unusual designs. Return at the end of a well spent day to the NU-WRAY INN — Here, you will find good food, a comfortable bed — and a peaceful rest awaits you. COME — and let us bid you welcome!
