"Christy"...the story of a North Carolina girl who came to teach mountain children nearly one hundred years ago. She's has been the star of a Broadway musical, a movie and television series. Christy Mission, her home, is located just outside Del Rio and makes an important family stop to learn about the folks who call the Smoky Mountains their home. To get to Del Rio take Highway 25/70 east out of Newport or west of Hot Springs, North Carolina. Follow the French Broad River from either direction.
