Cool Summer Nights in the Wild West of North Carolina

Now that the long summer nights are here, be sure to check out Cool Summer Nights at Tweetsie Railroad. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains on U.S. Highway 321 between Blowing Rock and Boone, Tweetsie Railroad is a Wild West Adventure complete with rides, attractions, food, and a Wild West train ride behind Tweetsie’s famed steam locomotive. Explore the Western town, hunt for cowboys and Indians or take a scenic chair ride back in history and experience the Gold Rush while panning for gold at Miner’s Mountain.

And during the month of July, when the sun goes down and the fireflies light up, you can see Tweetsie Railroad in a whole new light. On Saturday July 7, 14, 21 and 28, Tweetsie Railroad will stay open until 9pm so the whole family can enjoy the cool evenings and the wild summer nights.  Find out more at tweetsie.com.
