Erwin & Unicoi County

As its mountains tower over the Tennessee-North Carolina border, Unicoi County combines wonders of natural beauty with intriguing stories of history and culture. Here, elegant small towns bustle with sidewalk shops and eateries, locals recount fascinating stories of the past and future, and visitors stand in astonishment of nature's true marvels. The Clinchfield Railroad got its start in Erwin, as did the now world-famous Blue Ridge Pottery.
