In this episode we explore the fascinating history of Haywood County through the lens of local historian, Alex McKay. From its humble beginnings as a rural agricultural community, Haywood County has undergone significant transformations over the years. 

One of the most significant forces in Haywood County's history has been tourism, which has had a profound impact on the area's economy, culture, and overall identity. From the development of the railroad to the establishment of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tourism has played a key role in shaping the county's past and present.

We hope that you’ll learn something new in this podcast as we uncover the hidden gems and little-known stories of Haywood County's past, and discover how its history continues to influence and inspire its local residents and visitors today.
