Hype for the Future 100F: Town of Sparta, North Carolina

Overview

The Town of Sparta is located within Alleghany County, North Carolina, along the Virginia state line to serve as the county seat. Without a significant tourist industry, the community remains even more highly rural than the vast majority of surrounding communities within the most recreational area of the Appalachians and Great Smoky Mountains in particular. Within the Town of Sparta, the only notable point of cultural interest is the Alleghany Historical Museum.
