Emerald Village is one of North Carolina's most enjoyable attractions! If you like gem mining... you'll LOVE Emerald Village! See Authentic Equipment in a real mine!

The indoor portion of the tour features uses of the minerals & gems found in these mines.

A collection of mining lamps, dynamite plungers and other mining memorabilia are on display.

You'll also want to visit our gallery of minerals with specimens from North Carolina and around the world.  We also have a black light display that really shows off some of our more unique minerals and gems!
 

We are located on McKinney Mine Road in Little Switzerland, convenient from most areas of the High Country area.  We are easily accessible from Hwy 19E and Hwy 226, not far from the North Carolina Minerals Museum.

We invite you to visit with us soon.  We offer a wonderful experience for individuals, families and groups of all sizes. Be sure to bring your camera as we offer some truly exciting photo opportunities, with something for every age group.

Be sure to browse our website for just a few of the many things of interest that you will
