what to do..

where to go

"So this is what Mayberry was really like!" Welcome to Andy Griffith's home town: simple, straight forward and sincere.

Visitors' Center - Where else but on Main Street. From I-77 take exit 101 and head eastbound on the US-74 freeway to the NC-89 exit. Exit and follow NC-89 to Main Street in the center of Mount Airy. Turn left and the visitors' center will be on your left just beyond Moore Avenue (which will be on your right about a block up Main). Address: 200 North Main.
  The Visitors' center has prepared directions for a drive-yourself tour around Mayberry - excuse us, - Mount Airy.
  For more information, phone 1-800-948-0949 (toll free). Web site: VisitMayberry.

Andy Griffith Museum - While you're at the Visitors' Center you can walk through the Andy Griffith Museum. If you enjoyed the Andy Griffith Show, you will really appreciate the museum. If you never got to see the Andy Griffith Show the museum will probably be quite an eye-opener.
