Moses Cone Park
Located around mile 293 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. From the house, turn
right onto 321 South to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Turn South on the Blue Ridge
Pkwy (left of this exit). The Cone House will be on the left. There are great
trails for walking, running or horseback riding. Many places to start – check out
a trail map. We have some at the house or get one at the park service office at
the Cone Manor.
The Manor House was the summer home of textile magnate Moses Cone
(also called the Denim King!). The home was one of the first in the mountains
to have indoor plumbing. He planted orchards and had two lakes made for his
fishing enjoyment: Bass Lake and Trout Lake. Today, the Cone House is home
to the Southern Highlands Craft Guild, an organization that only accepts high-
quality crafts for sale and display. Here you will also find 26 miles of bridle
paths and carriage trails. The carriage house and main house are rumored to
be haunted!
Price Park
Boone Fork Trail Great trail to see stream, forest and meadows. Kids and dogs
LOVE it! 4.9 miles, moderate to strenuous. Also great picnic area at trail head.
MP 296.5 This is one of our favorite hikes in the area. It’s great for the dogs
and the people! Head to the Blue Ridge Parkway from the house and go south
to milepost 296.5
Price Lake Loop Trail Great way to explore Price Park and Price Lake.
Especially beautiful when Mountain Laurel & Rhododendron are out and is
breathtakingly beautiful in the fall. Also a neat hike in the winter when there is
snow on the ground. 2.3 miles, Moderate. Fairly flat. MP 297.
Julian Price Park is 3900 acres of magnificence and enjoyment. The park
provides picnic grounds, campgrounds, rest rooms, nature walks, an
amphitheater, hiking trails, trout fishing and boat rental. Julian Price obtained
the beautiful forested area in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He planned to
use the land as an exceptional vacation refuge for the employees of Jefferson
Standard Life Insurance Company. However, Julian Price's unfortunate death
in 1946 postponed the plans. Jefferson Standard donated the land to the
National Park Service for public use. Jefferson Standard did request that
Boone Fork be dammed to create Price Lake as a memorial for Julian Price.
The trails in the park vary in length but all take you through the forests, by the
streams and into the meadows of this fertile land.

The Blowing Rock, North Carolina's oldest travel attraction since 1933, is an
immense cliff 4,000 feet above sea level overhanging Johns River Gorge 3,000

Since 1883, we've been outfitting the Appalachians with traditional mercantile
goods, comfortable clothing, rugged footwear and quality outdoor gear for all
mountain seasons. When in the North Carolina High Country, we invite you to
warm up by our potbellied stove, mail a letter at our antique post office and
discover for yourself why... some times are just too good to leave behind.

The Todd General Store is one of only five or six authentic general stores

community spirit nourished.
