North Main Street | 336-877-6957

Many small towns in the state boast a popular street that makes the place special. North Main Street in Mount Airy is such a place and stands as a testament to the town’s rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring community spirit. The street exudes charm with its well-preserved 19th-century buildings and an array of ice cream, home décor, Mayberry memorabilia, and other shops, clothing boutiques, hardware and antique stores, restaurants, and small businesses.

Designated as a National Main Street Community, the popular heart of the downtown gives a nod to its favorite son, actor Andy Griffith, and his fictitious Mayberry, based on the town in The Andy Griffith Show. With a vibrant events and arts scene, North Main Street and its businesses extend a welcoming hospitality that continually draws visitors from this state and beyond.

“Mayberry [Mount Airy] is every small town we remember from our childhood.”
