Artists, nature draw visitors to Stokes County

Artists, Nature Draw Visitors to Stokes County


       
Thursday, February 7, 2013
With its own mountain range — the Sauratown Mountains — which encompasses 58 miles of the Dan River, an award-winning state park, cascading waterfalls and miles of trails, Stokes County provides daily inspiration for artists. Its towns — Danbury, King and Walnut Cove — have a big appetite for the arts, and the artists often try to capture the beauty of the natural surroundings.The Stokes County Arts Council is celebrating its 35th anniversary and is responsible for much of the cultural activity and entertainment in the county. Painting, photography, pottery, drama and musical performances can easily be found. Take a few hours for yourself to see a play or an exhibit, attend a class or stomp your feet to some bluegrass picking.Just 20 miles north of Winston-Salem, Danbury and the surrounding area provide quick access for visitors looking for a respite. The proximity makes it easy to get away for a few hours.
Outdoor enthusiasts gravitate toward the county’s many interesting destinations such as Moores Springs, Piedmont Springs, Cascade Falls, Tories Den and Hanging Rock State Park. Developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, the park is among North Carolina’s oldest. The 7,049-acre park was named park of the year in 2012 by the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. Hikers, rock climbers, fisherman and swimmers all find a haven here.
When you are ready to slow down a bit, stroll along the streets of Danbury and Walnut Cove and enjoy the antiques shops. Stop in at J.E. Priddy’s General Store, in operation for 123 years, and take home a souvenir — a country ham, a hoop of cheese, iron cookware or homemade jam.
There’s a lot of history in these hills. Make time to see: the Moratock Iron Furnace, used to produce usable bar iron; Davis Chapel, which started as a place of worship on the James Davis Plantation in the 1700s; and the 100-year-old Jessup Mill and Farm on the Dan River.
For the luxury of spending more than a day in Stokes County, select from among the inns and cabins available — some within earshot of the river.
While the local cuisine is predominantly Southern, country fare, you can still find Mexican, Thai and Japanese food. There is no need to do without sushi, a gourmet cupcake or a fruit smoothie.
