John Preston Arthur, local historian and author, wrote this elegant description of Valle Crucis in his "History of Watauga County" in 1915: "There is, perhaps, more interest in this place and its romantic history than in any other in Watauga County. …There is a dreamy spell which hangs over this little valley…" And he was right!
The small community of Valle Crucis is North Carolina’s first rural historic district and is where you’ll find the Original Mast General Store and the Mast Store Annex. Still the center of the community, the Original Mast Store houses the Post Office and offers up a 5¢ cup of coffee. Traversing its creaking floorboards, you’ll find country gourmet foods, cast iron cookware, speckle ware, old-fashioned toys, footwear for all walks of life, hardware, and even a pair of galluses, if you need them.

Photography is my OBSESSION, along with my love for God, family, and friends. I love taking the back roads and finding old treasures along the way. So if you're interested in looking through my lens, please join me on my journey! I found my keys....let's go.......
