This site is a wonderful experience as it includes the Graham homestead, a building housing displays of key events in Rev. Graham's life and a good dairy bar that is perfect for lunch. The grounds offer some nice walking paths as well. Amazingly there is no charge to visit and this is a great place to spend a couple hours.

The Blowing Rock Community Library

Book Sales. Old time charm. The Community Library is located on the corner of Main Street and Park Ave., adjacent to the Town Hall. The beautiful stone structure was built in 1949. Inside, the library sports warm wood paneling, iron chandeliers, and stone fireplace. There are many reference books on local sights, history, and architecture. You will seemingly go back in time as the library still uses the multi-drawer manual card catalog (can you find the rotary phone?). Be sure to check out the whimsical children's section. The locals will tell you one of the library's best features: a continuously running BOOK SALE of gently used hardback and paperback books as well as collectible volumes. Prices start at $1. Don't miss bronze "Jessie" casually reading a book while seated on a bench on the front lawn (photo op!). Summer Hours (May-Oct): Mon-Sat 10:30am - 4:00pm Winter Hours (Nov-Apr): M W Sat 10:30am - 4:00pm

Reviewed By ruthf289 - Laurinburg, United States

There are many interesting hand crafted items on display upstairs at the Southern Highland Craft Guild Folk Arts Center. Many items are also on sale on the lower level. You find things that you will not see in the usual shops.
