Gutted to know all of this is completely gone now after the floods from Hurricane Helene today. 💔 Thankful you took this video a year ago.
Very sad. I love Chimney Rock.
@@TimothyFrench so much charm up there in that region. Asheville/Boone/Blowing Rock, too. The devastation is heart wrenching.

I’m still in shock with what happened to this wonderful gem chimney rock village. I hope they will rebuild, my heart breaks for this place.
Me too. I hope they rebuild it to reflect the charm it had in this video
Hello God,
😭😭😭
Thank you,
Your daughter
Deja vu - in Lahaina. Same type of recreational facilities people enjoy on a holiday...
Glad you got to see and document Chimney Rock while it was still there. Much of the village was washed away by Hurricane Helene today.
So sad. 😞
Our granddaughter worked as a waitress at the River Watch Restaurant until shortly after she graduated from high school in 2018. Our daughter-in-law worked across the street at the shop that sold gemstones and other related items. She worked there into 2019 when she had to stop working because of health problems. We enjoyed visiting Chimney Rock and the Flower Bridge.
Thanks for sharing
I remember as a kid, driving though here with the parents and seeing the mountain. Really glad you got to document this and thank you for the memories. 9.29.24 and Hurricane Helen has devastated the NC area, including wiping our Chimney Rock with flooding. Please remember our neighbors and help them when you can.
Will do. And thanks for sharing your memories with us 👍
I live in California, saw about the hurricane damage to Chimney Rock, and doing a UA-cam search to see what it looked like before the hurricane Thanks for the video.
@garyh.2487 Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
A further thought, seeing this place really reminds me of (little)Nashville,IN ,at Brown Co. ,its a neat little tourist town outside the big Brown County St.Pk. east of Bloomington,IN.
I just get the same nostalgia vibes.
We'd been going to little nashville ever since i was a little kid, we'd go in the autumn mostly as the fall leaves there are amazing, but we'd do spring time some years. Little nashville had always been known as a artists colony and it still is a big artist's haven and destination. The famous painter T.C.Steele had a home and gardens a little ways west of there, he was of the Hoosier Group of famous painters.
His studio barn and home and gardens is a state museum now and theyve built a visitor center also now.
I really enjoyed your video. It looks like it was a great place to stop.
It was and will be again, but they will have to build the road back first.
Thanks for watching 👍
From about where the video started to the 2 minute mark is gone as of hurricane Helene september 2024, as well as other buildings further down. They say about 60% of the town is gone. I was so saddened to hear this. Chimney Rock holds so many memories for me as a kid on vacations to the place with my folks. I'm almost 60 now and use to love going into the shops there. It tears my heart out to see it gone. Prayers to the victims of this horrible storm.
It tears me up as well. It was one the last towns to hold its old time tourist charm.
I am German and I have been there so often, enjoyed each single time
It is a beautiful place. Thanks for watching.👍
I am mexican
One of my favorite areas on the planet. My ex wife's family is from near there, and we'd go visit them several times a year. I never wanted to leave. We'd go in the summer and then go back in the fall when they cut the sorghum and made syrup. Started going there in the early 80's and continued until about 10 years ago. Her family and the locals were some of the most down to earth and nicest folks you could ever meet. Her uncle, Kelly,ran a hardware store in the Bill's Creek community for several years until he passed away. The last time I went up there was to attend his funeral. The local fire department put us up for free in a huge A frame house near Lake Lure.
Chimney Rock Village still looks about the same. Always loved checking out those old souvenir stores in town. Featherheads is an interesting one. We started going there when it was a little bitty store located upstairs from where it's at today.
I really miss that area . If I can ever get my health and finances in better shape and order, I'm going back. Might even stay for good 😄 But it was great to revisit it a little via your video. Thanks for that. Gonna check out your others of Lake Lure, Tryon etc next.
Thanks again and stay safe in your travels.
I will. And thanks for sharing your Chimney Rock memories 👍
Thanks for showing more parts of this home state i didn't know in your NC video series
Your welcome, Andrew. I love showing them and I’m thankful to have you following along with me 👍
Looking at video tours of the places ive been hearing about and seeing in other post helene videos ,that were destroyed. My family had been around to some places down there long time ago, and i visited Asheville with a friend as we came back from a wedding heading back to Indiana. I really wanted to go back and actually live around that area as i just really got attracted to it, although that region is my favorite place, the Appalachia, Blue Ridge, etc as my family did a lot of camping trips down there in different places and i tried to take trips down when i could but i just didn't have enough time to get away for years.
But i guess i wont ever get to see a lot of those places as they previously existed now as theyve been wrecked. Its horrible for the people as it is even more difficult to rebuild and start over in these current times.
May all things improve and go the best way.
I hope they build them back to look like they did vs a more modern look.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
You always bring quality content. Thanks Timothy.
Nice tour of Chimney Rock, Timothy! They have a lot of shops and restaurants there. That river walk and rocky river is beautiful. I enjoyed listening to the Appalachian music you included in this video. I forgot to mention the music on yesterday's Lake Lure video, as I enjoyed that, too. The music is a fantastic addition to your videos. Stay safe out there, Timothy!
Thanks, I did not add any music to the Lake Lure video. But thinking about adding more music to my new videos when I can.
I meant to say the music you added to the Casar, NC video. It was not the Lake Lure video. Sorry for the confusion.
It’s funny, I put the music in both videos because I was having problems with my mic which caused some low level popping noise to occur. The music helped to cover it up. A happier accident I suppose since most people seem to like the music 😃
It was an excellent "accident!"
Just found your channel and I love it. I am from that area and I am glad you share what a beautiful area this is.
It’s an awesome place to be from that’s for sure.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. And thanks for being a subscriber 👍
Good video! Yea we go up there about once a year , I didn’t know there were those river walks behind the buildings,that’s cool.
The river is beautiful. I love the whole area. When I was younger I dreamed of owning a shop and home there.
Love the music. Gotta check this place out.
I like the music too. I may start add some to my new videos where it makes sense to do so.👍
This is a very nice place to visit..... jmo better than Cherokee ...... Thumbs up Tim as always.....
Thank you.
Hey Tim, your soundtrack is great! Nice addition. Is it you on the banjo? Thanks
No. I’ve always wanted to learn but never took the time to do so. Maybe one day I will decide to pick up a banjo or fiddle. I love them both.
Great video, but the background music kinda drowned you out.
Thanks, good to know👍
Would have been better without the music. We love Chimney Rock. We ate at Laura's House about 20 years ago. The Rocky Broad River is so beautiful. Enjoyed this place so much. ❤
The foreshadowing is crazy
