Oh my goodness, I've always wondered if Ghost Town was still around. Sad to find out it's not. My husband and I went there many times before and after we married in '71. Kids from '74 - '85 always enjoyed it, too, when we would bring them. We always took the chair left, and got our picture taken and then you could buy it when you got to the top. The saloons with the can-can dancers and the daily gunfights were all so special. A couple of places to have pictures made in all the western clothes and hats. In the later years that we went, there was amusement rides in an area that were a lot of fun. The whole experience was great. Thanks for this video!
I remember going to Maggie Valley, Cherokee and Ghost Town with my family many, many years ago. When I was young Cherokee was the place to go and you just traveled through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to get to Cherokee. How times have changed. I enjoy your videos and really appreciate you both proclaiming your faith openly. Wishing you many blessings.
Best memories of riding that ski lift to the top of the mountain. My Mom and her friend were scared of the ski lift so they rode the train. It looked like it went straight up the side of the mountain! And the cowboys at the top doing their shows. I miss it all!
My mom lives in Maggie Valley and it is a tremendous place to visit. Friendly people, great weather, and great scenery. I can't wait for my next trip back to the mountains.
I'm from Argentina. I lived in Maggie Valley for 3 months while working at Cataloochee Ski Center. It was a "Work&Travel" program. Best memories, hope to come back some day. Thanks for sharing!
Our elementary school took us to Ghost Town. I don’t remember exactly how old i was, maybe 45-50 years ago. I recall the shootout on Main Street by the staff. It was my first chairlift ride. Loved it!
Yes, I was there with my family back in 1968. My Dad and I went to the top and I still have that black and white photo they take as you arrival at the top. Great times back then.
I love Maggie Valley!! When we go to the Smokey’s we always visit Maggie Valley. Ive been to Ghost Town in the sky a few times as a kid, late 60’s and 70’s. We actually got to take our kids in the early 90’s. I’m so glad they got to experience it before it closed. I wish they would reopen it just as it was back then.
I do too I went in the 70s and in 95 it had changed a lot. Went again in 2012 I believe they was trying to do a religious scene that did not go over well.
Loved that town in the early 70's as a teenager, all kinds of cool things to see even a gunfight. Last time was the early 80's but I will always have great memories, thanks for the replay!!
I remember going there when I was a child I love ghost town Maggie Valley always I loved watching the Gun fights in the street and I also love the saloon I hope it comes back I would love to visit again I enjoy watching your videos thank you have a blessed day
What a wonderful representation you’ve given our sweet, little valley town. Thank You! I’m so happy you enjoyed your day here. So many people loved Ghost Town. It currently is in talks & perhaps new ownership. An article in the paper last month told us that news. Since I’ve lived here that’s happened twice before & nothing ever came of it. We’ll see. We are so blessed to live here. Karen, a week from Sat we’re taking a short trip to Lancaster, PA to see Esther at Sight & Sound. But, thanks to you, we’re going to make a short stop to Big Stone Gap so I can relive those beautiful books. 🥰
When I was a child, my family went to Maggie Valley for vacation every summer and I remember going to Ghost Town multiple times. It’s sad that Ghost Town no longer exists!
Aaahhhh, memories of Ghost Town. Late 60's and early 70's visits. The gunfights in the streets, can-can girls dancing on the bar, animal petting zoo, small rides (like today's carnival rides), just a special place and great memories for my childhood from the dates mentioned above.
1985…11 years old. They allowed me to walk 1/4 of the way up that hill to retrieve my dad’s camera case that fell when we were on the ski lift. People yelled it’s a long walk up. I made it and somehow found the case in the tall grass. Walking back down was just as tiring as going up and thankfully have pictures of it because I remember that family trip very well!!
I have visited Maggie valley often it is one of my favorite places. I even met popcorn Sutton there years ago. I hadn't been in years and it was wonderful to see this video thanks for sharing
Wheels Through Time has to be one of the best attractions in Maggie Valley! I spent 4 1/2 hours there this past fall and I could've spent the whole day at least! They have some of the rarest motorcycles in the country there. The family and staff are awesome too. Sad so many of these wonderful, simple, attractions have fallen by the wayside. We had two such parks on either side of my hometown and one was put out of business by the other, which became a six flags...Having said this, Maggie Valley is a charming valley too, so pretty.
When my boys were little we use to go to Ghost Town, a couple of times. We loved it the re-enactments and all. Riding the rides and other shows. That was back in the 90’s. We traveled here many times with my in-laws. I sure miss those times. Great memories!
Every year we went to Maggie Valley for our summer vacation. We stayed at the fabulous Scottish Inn! 😂. I am disappointed to see the gift shops are no longer tacky tourist draws and are just craft shops now. We got some GREAT and bizarre souvenirs. I’m so sorry my kids will never know how great Ghost Town was. I had my best memories there!
Thank you so much for this lovely video! My late husband and I used to vacation in that area every year back in the 80s, and that sky lift was the scariest ride for me! Poor Sam's arm had a bruise for days where I hung on for dear life! Love the mountains.
Awesome video! While in Maggie Valley, check out Cataloochee Valley in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. This is where the elk are. Might see a bear too. Thanks for sharing.
I grew up visiting Maggie Valley and going to those gift shops. I was little and went to Ghost Town, barely remember it. I also visited the little zoo called Soco Gardens by the Maggie gift shop. Don’t think it is there now. Thanks for another sweet video!
I remember my first trip to Maggie Valley and Ghost Town was in 1963. My family usually would go every couple years or so, living in upstate SC. As a kid I loved the gunfights and the real look western town. I loved riding the chairlift and even rode the incline a few times. If I remember correctly they added amusement rides in the later years. I hated it had closed by the time my kids were able to go. Great childhood memories for me. Great video.
We always stopped at Maggie’s Valley, Ghost Town, Cherokee! Got lots of pics from Ghost Town, and been there recently. There’s actually a court case going on for Ghost Town, and who it actually belongs to, and a push to open it back up! 😊
We just moved here three years ago and we are waiting patiently for someone to please open Ghost Town up too!! Thanks for coming to visit our beloved community. Ive lived overseas and in 10 states... visited almost all the states here in the US.. This is hands down my FAVORITE place to live. Come back again!!
Hey I really enjoyed this video!! My wife and I came here on our honeymoon July 28th 1979. I told Mary my wife that it looked stormy toward the top of the mountain when we were getting on the sky lift to go up. We have the pictures to show today taken from a kodak instamatic 110. When got about a little over half way up it came the awfulest storm of wind and rain and the wind blew so hard that the seat was swaying in the wind. The rain poured down and when we got off we were completely soaked and water was squishing out of our shoes when we walked. We will never forget that experience. I remember the people coming down the hill looked over at us laughing saying good luck, they knew we were going to get soaked. Thanks for this tour.
Went up to Maggie Valley on our honeymoon thirty years ago. Amazed at how much it has changed. Have got to return real soon. Thanks for sharing your trip. Many fond memories. We fell in love with Maggie Valley.
Many, Many Times. Loved the swings that threw you over the Mountainside. Loved the shootouts too!! Especially me working as an Undertaker since I was 12. Loved Digger. He could never size him for that coffin.
We use to take our kids to Ghost Town in the Sky in the 90s. We loved it. They loved Santa Land to, we still go to Santa Land, now with the grandbabies. Love the Smokey Mountains period!!! Bless y'all stay safe.
Yes, enjoyed Ghost Town in the Sky as a kid. Really loved the old west town and the shows they had. Thanks for taking us down memory lane. We love your channel! Watching your Smoky Mountain videos helps bridge the gap between our visits to that beautiful area. God bless!
Went to Ghost Town many times. Just saw a picture of me and brother on the Main Street, I was 15, I'm now 71, all my folks are gone now. Precious memories. Enjoyed seeing Maggie Valley again.
Don’t know where my comment went I just left but came back to say if you go behind the last shops you visited there is a beautiful setting area and creek in the back. God Bless
@@FridaysForever it’s UA-cam. It’s happened on my channel also. I just came back to post on the first comment about the place behind the gift shop and other comment was gone. Y’all have blessed weekend!
I fell in love with Maggie Valley at 13yrs old, when I went on a field trip to Ghost Town. Now I'm in my 40's and STILL love the area. Thanks for the video 😊
was to Maggie Valley and Cherokee. rode a sky lift up a mountain somewhere around there. back in late late 60's early 70's. good old times back then. thanks for the video.
Last time I was in Maggie Valley, North Carolina was at Ghost Town in the Sky late 80's early 90's maybe not really sure but brought back some memories I had when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories guys
Some of these old places I have pics of me in front of when I was a child .. Some w my Parents who have both passed away. I have been able to watch this and show my own babies places my Parents took me when I was the oldest age.. He was amazed. My children never got to meet my parents, they are 10, 3 and 1.. So the 2 oldest got to see things I experienced w my mom and dad and what adventures they took me on. Including ghost town.. The chair lift.. Oh my and I have pics of me on those horses .. Oh my heart!! What a precious walk down memory lane.
Love Maggie Valley! I've spent many a vacations in the area. I do remember several trips to Ghost Town when young. I believe Dollywood and the rise of Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area is part of the cause for it's demise but would love for it to come back.
I had my first Sarasparilla at the Ghost Town Saloon around 1970? Rode the swing ride that went out beyond the mountain. Cable car up and chair lift down. Such good times.
We have been staying there for the last couple of years. We normally stay in Gatlinburg or pigeon forge Maggie Valley is a nice change of pace, I like both areas though. I would recommend eating at Joeys Pancake house and Snappy’s Italian restaurant . We usually stay at Country Cabins
@@RollinIsbell now that’s what I call dedication . We live about 2 hrs away from them but have never driven there just to eat only when we stay in Maggie Valley
Love your Videos. Yes have been to Maggie Valley-Ghost Town mamay times as Young person. Then My two sonns enjoyed it. So sad it really is a ghost town now. Watched your video of Bryson City, NC. Now I am hooked. You all are the best! I'm from Tennessee but my husband and I raised our sons in Brtson Vity, Swain County, NC. God Bless. I feel that I will get to experience many places through you. I am a subscriber🥰
A much needed relaxing escape to Maggie Valley on this Friday morning. I always learn new things from the videos! I had never heard God Paused. That is so cool and has to be true with the beauty of Maggie Valley. I used to see Maggie walking the sidewalks waving in the yellow and red outfit. I unfortunately didn’t discover Ghost Town until one of the openings in maybe 2006. I loved it as an adult the view from the top is unforgettable. My cousin and I would beg to go to Ghost Town growing up along with Frontier Land in Cherokee. I still have no idea where that was located in Cherokee. I noticed you guys may have came into Maggie Valley from the interstate. It made me want Hot Springs!
I do remember going there as a child and riding the sky-lift. Got Patty Petersons autograph. She played the youngest daughter on the Donna Reed show. Good memories. It would have been in mid 60’s.
Some awesome stores and shops I remember ghost town I wish they would bring that back to life thanks for taking us along with you and hope you guys have a great week
went there as a child with mom and dad... wonderful memories... they had a great gun fight show every so often in the town... went there about 5 years ago and I see things haven't changed. thanks for including this in your video... love your channel...
I got to go in the 90s as a teen/tween not sure how old I was. Actually, I found this video doing a search about Ghost town because I grabbed a vintage mug from Ghost Town and was reliving memories. Great video!!
Beautiful tour of Maggie Valley!We've only visited once,but would love to go again.The shops look really neat there also!Thanks for sharing Mike and Karen!!🌞🌄🌄
That did look interesting but I never been in North Carolina as I live in Elgin, Albert County, New Brunswick, Canada and I love travelling on UA-cam as I am a senoir age 72 with bad knees so I just home and travel on youtube. Thanks I loved it. God Bless you two too!
I remember going to Ghost Town as a child and they would have child stars there in the summer. I met Jon Provost who played Timmy on the Lassie tv show. We also took our son when he was 3…he is now 41! Sad to see it as it is, now. Great memories of good times there.
I was there in the hayday, twas a craxzy time swimming In the johnson. I miss clint from time to time. I loved charlie too, we always hung out at the cloggin mosque. I miss you maggie
We always enjoy your videos. This time they are helping us to take a break from things. We lost Jim's mom this week. Thanks for the enjoyable time. Oh, the bear was not too big. Jim & Pearl
Great video. We're heading that way later today. Hoping to see some snow and maybe do some snow tubing. Much different than here. Keep up the good work.
Have just spent last two hours watching video after video of you guys and enjoyed every minute of it. Yes! I remember going to Ghost Town in the Sky as a kid, too bad it’s closed. We live less than two hours from Gatlinburg, just can’t get enough of it...we love that special place. It’s very special to us since we married there. Anyway, great video’s, keep up the good work.
Enjoyed this area in th 70's, rode th rail car upto th top with family. This was our 1st vacation as a family. It was very entertaining with all th western town an shoot outs being displayed , even in th rain. My young daughter got soaked in th rain an we had to buy her a dry outfit b4 we took th rest of GHOST TOWN in....sadly it's only a memory now but we did spend a week in Maggie Valley in our RV for our 46th anniversary in 2012 an re-lived many memories of our 1st family vacation. Thanks for this revisit today...
Beautiful area of the region. Went to Ghost Town in the Sky when we were newlyweds and when our kids were small. Always had a blast! Enjoy your journeys
Enjoyed the visit! Don't forget it's the home of a World Champion Banjo player, Raymond Fairchild. My husband has been to Ghost town and watched them shoot it out. I hate I never got to go, looked like fun! Safe Travels!
@@FridaysForever I figured you knew about him but I knew that you probuably have alot to film and edit and just life gets busy, but always love the videos! God Bless!

Great memories!

Hey guys that’s awesome what a wonderful little town ❤️👍✌️🙏🏻

Wow, Maggie Valley is beautiful. Now on my bucket list to visit. Thank you for showing us how wonderful it is. Cheers
It really is! Our pleasure Helga.
Every year we went to Maggie Valley for our summer vacation. We stayed at the fabulous Scottish Inn! 😂. I am disappointed to see the gift shops are no longer tacky tourist draws and are just craft shops now. We got some GREAT and bizarre souvenirs. I’m so sorry my kids will never know how great Ghost Town was. I had my best memories there!
Thanks so much for sharing with us.
I remember ghost town advertising on channel 13 a North Carolina TV station we used to get on antenna tv,

Been there along with my 8 siblings and Dad, loved it, so much fun, fun saloon shows!!!
My wife and I spent July 4, 1964 at Ghost Town. It was before we got married. This brought back wonderful memories. She past away 7 years ago.

Yes loved going there.
My husband and i went a couple yrs ago and loved it. The hidden gem for us was carvers maggie valley resteraunt. So delicious!
Sounds great!
Love Maggie Valley! I've spent many a vacations in the area. I do remember several trips to Ghost Town when young. I believe Dollywood and the rise of Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area is part of the cause for it's demise but would love for it to come back.
Thanks so much for sharing Paul!
I never thought about it but you are probably right . I love Dollywood now.
I had my first Sarasparilla at the Ghost Town Saloon around 1970? Rode the swing ride that went out beyond the mountain. Cable car up and chair lift down. Such good times.
Great memories!
Like the train, very beautiful mountains and scenery enjoying ghost town video.
Thank you very much!
We have been staying there for the last couple of years. We normally stay in Gatlinburg or pigeon forge
Maggie Valley is a nice change of pace, I like both areas though. I would recommend eating at Joeys Pancake house and Snappy’s Italian restaurant . We usually stay at Country Cabins
Thanks so much for the recommendations.
I think we'd almost make the drive from Florida to Maggie Valley just to eat at Joey's Pancake House.
@@RollinIsbell now that’s what I call dedication . We live about 2 hrs away from them but have never driven there just to eat only when we stay in Maggie Valley
Love your Videos. Yes have been to Maggie Valley-Ghost Town mamay times as Young person. Then My two sonns enjoyed it. So sad it really is a ghost town now. Watched your video of Bryson City, NC. Now I am hooked. You all are the best! I'm from Tennessee but my husband and I raised our sons in Brtson Vity, Swain County, NC. God Bless. I feel that I will get to experience many places through you. I am a subscriber🥰
A much needed relaxing escape to Maggie Valley on this Friday morning. I always learn new things from the videos! I had never heard God Paused. That is so cool and has to be true with the beauty of Maggie Valley. I used to see Maggie walking the sidewalks waving in the yellow and red outfit. I unfortunately didn’t discover Ghost Town until one of the openings in maybe 2006. I loved it as an adult the view from the top is unforgettable. My cousin and I would beg to go to Ghost Town growing up along with Frontier Land in Cherokee. I still have no idea where that was located in Cherokee. I noticed you guys may have came into Maggie Valley from the interstate. It made me want Hot Springs!
Hi Michael! Thank you so much for sharing all those great memories. We did come in from the interstate and yes we need to revisit the Hot Springs.
Hello there. If I'm not mistaken, Frontier Land in Cherokee was located where the casino is now.
@@robinhamrick8628 Thanks for letting me know that would be correct I’m sure because not a lot of change on that drive through Cherokee.
Oh yes! I remember my parents taking me to ghost town! Good times! Great memories
Thanks for sharing.
Used to stay summers at my grandparents house in Waynesville NC. Right down the road from Maggie Valley. We had a blast
Thank you for sharing Clayton!
I do remember going there as a child and riding the sky-lift. Got Patty Petersons autograph. She played the youngest daughter on the Donna Reed show. Good memories. It would have been in mid 60’s.
