Sightseeing Taking a leisurely drive just out of the Town of Taylorsville in most any direction will reveal some of the prettiest views to be found. The lovely rolling hills of the Brushy Mountains are lined with apple trees, providing a mouth watering harvest in the Fall. Our countryside is a patchwork of farms, fields and gardens with homes dotted throughout. The granite quarry at Rocky Face Mountain, the easternmost mountain of the Appalachian Mountain chain can be seen off in the distance from many parts of the county. Rocky Face Mountain is now owned by the Felburn Foundation, a nature conservancy organization.
Hikers can enjoy a wide view of the county from on top of the mountain.
The railroad's offices are located in the old depot in Taylorsville. Of course, these are apples, and Alexander County is famous for them. Located on Hwy. Contact our Chamber of Commerce for more details.
