Head on up to the High Country and enjoy the charm of West Jefferson’s downtown. Its vibrant Jefferson Street and the entire downtown area rolls out the welcome mat with planters brimming with beautiful flowers. Friendly shopkeepers and a wide range of options from art galleries, outdoor outfitters, clothing shops, a hardware store, pet stores, gift shops, a spice and tea exchange, coffee shops, breweries, and restaurants make any visit enjoyable. Be sure to walk down the side streets and back streets for little gems and look for the gigantic Holstein cow sculptures to find the Ashe County Cheese shop and to see cheese being made. It’s a must-stop for locally made cheese, which makes great gifts for the foodie on your list. Start your visit at the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center in the heart of all the action for maps, brochures, and great advice for making the most of your visit.
