Welcome to Mayberry
Mount Airy is the birthplace of Andy Griffith and the real-life inspiration for the beloved town of Mayberry from The Andy Griffith Show. Walking down Main Street feels like stepping back in time -- you will find Snappy Lunch still serving its famous pork chop sandwich, Floyd's Barber Shop offering old-fashioned cuts, and Wally's Service Station standing just as it did decades ago.
But Mount Airy is not just about nostalgia. The town is a living center for Old-Time and Bluegrass music, with jam sessions echoing through downtown on any given weekend. Mayberry Squad Car Tours take visitors on a ride through filming locations and local landmarks, while the Earle Theatre keeps the tradition of live entertainment alive. It is a place where heritage and heart come together in the foothills of the Blue Ridge.
