Mountains, Music, Mayberry, Merlot!

Mount Airy, the real-life North Carolina town that inspired a much-loved 1960s TV sitcom, Mayberry, and still honors Andy Griffith, its native son.  Mount Airy lends a close connection to an innocent time celebrating small-town Americana.  Niche.com rates Mount Airy City Schools as the 17^th Best School District in North Carolina.

Approach from any direction and see Pilot Mountain rising more than 1,400 feet above the rolling countryside of the region.
