Come to Dillsboro for easy livin' ... come sit on our porch, rock a bit, shop a bit, eat a bit an enjoy life as it used to be. Each shop — some are more than 100 years old — offers a different temptation.
There are shops with cheeses, coffees, chocolates and confections. There are shops devoted to the arts and crafts of the Smokies. There are fashion boutiques, home furnishings stores, and the town's venerable General Store with its old-fashioned soda fountain.
Many of Dillsboro's gift shops and galleries focus on local artisans; and some are working artisan's studios where visitors can watch work in progress and talk to the artisans.
