The Gertrude Smith House

Reviewed By 55cruiser - Paintsville, United States

We stopped by the visitors center, and a very knowledgeable young lady told us about the Gertrude Smith house. It was during their Christmas tour, so the entire house was decorated for the holidays. There were three beautiful Christmas trees and the lady who met us at the door told us so many interesting things about the house. The tour is self guided, so we were able to take our time and look through each room. We enjoyed is so much, and would highly suggest that you make it a stop on your visit to Mt. Airy!

Floyd's City Barbershop

Reviewed By Benjibox

We met the real Floyd's son, who owns the barber shop and employs two barbers. He was SO friendly and full of local history and stories about all the different people that he has met over the years. Original cash register and at least one original barber chair.

Old City Jail

Reviewed By olivefinder - Charlotte, United States

Having grown up loving Andy Griffith and all the characters, my friends and I were delighted to find this perfect recreation of the Mayberry Jail. The details here are classic tv - Otis' cell, the key, Andy's desk (down to the phone and typewriter!) This is a fun part of any trip to "Mayberry" Mount Airy, NC.
