MADISON COUNTY

Madison County is located 15 miles north of Asheville on the North Carolina/Tennessee border in the Smoky Mountains of Appalachia. There are many attractions in our 452 square mile area, of which 73 percent is forest. Nearly one fourth is public land managed by the US Forest Service... Madison County is home to numerous manufacturers, small businesses, and service people. The small family farm is the backbone of Madison County; it's a way of life here. Tobacco barns dot the hillsides as do cattle - there is one cow for each person in this county!
