Macon County Gemboree
Macon County Community Building, Franklin, NC
The Macon County Gemboree fills Franklin's community building with dealers selling gems, minerals and fossils pulled from the region's own mines. It began in 1966 and has run every summer since in a town that calls itself the gem capital of the world. The 2026 edition was its 59th.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
