Thank you for the Christmas display your town puts on each year. My family has been coming to see the display for a number of years. Thank you again, for a great Christmas show, un like the sad one put on here in Black Mountain. Gary Mills.

I came across the Old Fort website while surfing the web and wanted to express my appreciation for the site. Having grown up in Old Fort, it was refreshing to see the site.

I would like to thank the Operator of the local AMOCO station in your town ,for his help and services ,on Sunday morning, when most businesses were closed. July 21st, we had left Boone ,NC ,after attending a funeral, and were in need of a new tire. A lady in a nearby Party Store got in contact with him for us, and we were able to obtain a new tire from him and continue our trip back to Michigan. In the four days we spent in North Carolina, we never met a more friendlier people. Again , Thank you all. Don & Willie Gies, Bay City, Michigan.

I used to travel between Nashville and the coast of NC. Old Fort was about half way and a beautiful little hamlett to pull off the road and take a break. I am envious of your natural beauty there. We will be up soon for your Friday night pickin'.

My wife and I visited the Old Fort Mountain Music Hall last night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's like being a child again and hearing the music and songs of our youth. My wife's Dad was a Baptist preacher there in the early 60's and it was great to find people who had gone to the church her father pastored. It was great fun and we will be back. Thanks much for the TRADITION!

I wanted to come and take a look at my soon to be hometown,well hopefully if all goes well .I think it would be a great idea to have more photo's, show off the beauty of the town and its surrounding area's.Hope to see everyone soon. Bye Denise Hobson England, United Kingdom

Thanks for the great website. My father, who has passed away, was born and raised in Old Fort. I enjoyed reading about the history of his hometown, and hope to visit it someday. Allen Early Denver, CO

My name is Rebecca (Snipes) Thompson. I am the daughter of Orville Cleveland Snipes who was born at Curtis Creek in 1925.My father is the grandson of John Willis, who he tells was the Sheriff at one time. He has a story relating to the Railroad Depot, where his grandfather was shot and killed by a man he had sent to prison. My father remembers the story of two brothers who were sentenced and one vowed to come after the sheriff when he was released. Sheriff Willis went to meet the train when the man was released and was shot on the platform. Dad says he was last in Old Fort many, many years ago and the bullet hole was still in the Depot wall.

I came across your site as I was planning a camping trip for my family and the folks at Catawba Falls told me about the brick sale (which will be a terrific gift for Father's Day for my dad). Just thought I would share an interesting bit of history. I would be very interested in knowing any upcoming dates of significance, as I would love to bring my parents back up to visit.

Best Regards,

Becky Snipes Thompson
