Historic Happy Valley, a legendary home to the arts, storytelling and living traditions, minutes from Lenoir and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

As you follow this scenic 28-mile stretch of road in the shadow of the Blue Ridge you might imagine smoke rising from the 18th century cabin of Daniel Boone…envision Tom Dula's fateful meeting with Laura Foster on a deserted mountain farm…hear the timeless melodies of an old-time stringband or a chamber music quartet…or marvel at hundred year-old farmhouses that modern-day residents have preserved. Whether you come for a day, a weekend, or a special event, you will experience the spirit of a legendary place in Happy Valley.
