West Jefferson North Carolina
Have you ever heard of West Jefferson, North Carolina?
I hadnt either up until about a month ago. We finally were able to see it last week. Its such a cute little town and we hope to go back many times in the future.
It seems that West Jefferson has the distinction of having the only cheese factory in the southeastern United States, according to Wikipedia.
Mr. Fanatic and I didnt know that until we happened to be driving through.
Heres how the town looks from our dash cam...
Heres the Ashe County Cheese Plant...
They also just happened to have a cheese store. Of course, we had to stop in to see what they had.

We couldnt leave without buying some of this Cajun Cheddar. (and a few others)
...and some local Blackberry Honey...(sorry for the blurriness...still getting used to my smartphone camera)
They also had wine, ice cream and fudge; something for everyone.
I spotted this old theatre and though it was a gorgeous building. I found out later that its up for sale. It would be a cool place to live...that is, for $600,000.
What a little gem West Jefferson is! I hope if you are ever in this area( about 30 minutes from Boone), that you get a chance to drive though.
What little towns have you discovered on your traveling adventures?
