Things to do in Mount Airy
Andy Griffith's Home Town
Step back to a simpler time when you visit Mount Airy. Actor Andy Griffith grew up here, and it’s no coincidence that a stroll down Main Street in the "Friendly City" reminds people of the town of Mayberry on the endearing and enduringly popular ‘60s hit TV series. Fans of The Andy Griffith Show can visit Floyd’s City Barber Shop, the Old Mayberry Jail, Snappy Lunch, and even Andy’s childhood home. And you’ll be sure to relish the generous and caring spirit that you encounter wherever you go. Call (336) 786-2346 for more information.
