403 Beech Mountain Parkway
For two days each year, the public is invited to take a nostalgic stroll down the Yellow Brick Road and share memories of Oz with younger generations. Guests tour Aunt Em and Uncle Henry’s farm and meet Dorothy and friends along the Yellow Brick Road. Adding to the festive atmosphere will be a concession stand featuring new and old Oz trivia, a small petting zoo, a mini-Oz museum, mountain music, square dancers, and face painting. The tour takes from 1-1/2 to 2 hours and Oz-esque constumes are encouraged.
Park in the field across from Town Hall.
