Once one of the most booming towns in the High Country because of its prominent logging industry, Todd is now one of Watauga Counties most hidden treasures. The town that once roared with timber trains going in and out still has its rustic charm. Now a laid-back town on the Watauga and Ashe county line, Todd offers some of the best opportunities for fishing, cycling, and paddle sports.
Todd has many historic buildings including the Todd General Store, which takes you back to the old days. Every Friday, the store hosts a traditional mountain music jam that attracts people from all over. Across the street from the store is the newly assembled park that hosts many musical shows on the stage.
