Tweetsie Railroad is one of the most sought after attractions in the High Country. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Steam Engine #12 was built in 1917.
You can hop on board and have a real Wild West experience, complete with Cowboys & Indians and a ‘real’ train robbery!
The Theme Park has fabulous amusement park rides at the County Fair. You can stroll through the western style Main Street and look at the varmints in the town jail, or try out your skills at the shooting gallery and arcade. Why not try mining for gold on Miner’s Mountain? Or visit the animals in the Deer Park Zoo.
If you are lucky enough to be in Boone in October, don’t miss the Spooky Ghost Train ride, which runs on weekend nights in October.
Tweetsie Railroad is opened from May 1 (or thereabout) to October 31 (or thereabout)
