Raleigh Man Says Blowing Rock
Has Many Visitor Attractions
By C. R. LOWENDICK
Raleigh ? The entire western
portion of Variety Vacationland,
from Murphy to Sparta, is a
haven of vacation retreats hold
ing appeal for visitors of all
ages. This, of course, is the
mountain country with an abund
ance of streams, lakes, forests,
lodges, motels, hotels, catoins,
camping sites, golf courses and
unsurpassed opportunities for
sightseeing. Many of these at
tractions are along or just a
stone's throw from the well
traveled Blue Ridge Parkway.
My family and I are of the
opinion that one of the more
quaint resort towns just off the
Parkway is Blowing Rock. Situ
ated at the junction of US 221
and 321, this is where we spent
the better portion of a week not
long ago.
As one approaches the center
sf the town, be first notes the
attractive sign proclaiming its
lofty altitude ? 3M4 feet. And,
needless to My, sacfc elevation
provides cool evening tempera
tons that nttftfc hlankrt-sfegiaft
even in mid-summer, r * eft
pleasure. Situated centrally also
is a lovely tree-shaded park with
<U types at amusement devices
for the kiduies. Rows at benches
seemingly remain occopied by
parents and grandparents of off
spring busily engaged in the
background. The park is a
gathering spot, at sae time or
another, far the majority of
visitors and here many a long
lasting friendship was begun.
Just adiaceat to tbe park is the
attractive Chamber of Commerce
office where employees keep
busy supplying information sa
Blowing Rock and environs.
Just outside the town limits is
"Tweetsie." This authentically
restored early American steam

railroad wends its way nearly
constantly over three miles of
rugged mountain terrain to the
delight of all passengers. Visited
by many thousands annually,
"Tweetsie" is regarded as a
prime asset to this area.
Also of especial interest is
The Blowing Rock (not the town
but a rock), a phenomena dis
covered long ago by pioneers of
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Any
ught object tossed from this
unique rock formation is return
ed by the wind. The Rock over
hangs John's River Gorge hun
dreds of feet below.
Other local attractions are a
furniture factory offering ealy
handhewn furniture, Mystery Hill
and an Aatiqae Ante Mnseam. On
