Pilot Mountain, NC

It’s now a state park.

 

It’s become famous due to the Andy Griffith Show. It’s referred to on the show as a town called “Mount Pilot”. Andy’s hometown, Mt. Airy, is nearby. The name “Mayberry” sounds a lot like that.

 

Parts of downtown Mt. Airy have taken on the persona of the fictional Mayberry, with businesses named the same as the show. (Ie: Snappy Lunch, Floyd’s Barber Shop and others). The series was never filmed there.
