This picturesque village is home to rolling mountain farm land, excellent fishing along the Tuckaseigee River, and a wonderful break from fast food restaurants and big box stores. Commerce here includes a handful of gas stations, old fashioned general stores, trading posts and a lifestyle reminiscent of a long ago time, a place where everyone knows their neighbors.
Although getting to and from Tuckasegee passes through remoteness, life isn't all down home and homespun.
