About The Wilkesboros
A place to find your next local outing, follow community news and connect with Wilkesboro, North Wilkesboro and the county around them.
Why this site exists
Make local information easier to find.
Planning a Saturday in Wilkes County can mean checking a town website, an event calendar, a restaurant’s social page and a trail map. Finding the right starting point should be easier.
The Wilkesboros brings those subjects together. Its guides organize local places, events, businesses, history and community resources, with links that help you take the next step: find a map, contact a business, check an organizer’s details or learn more about a place.
The focus is practical information for people who live here and people planning a visit. Before traveling, confirm changing details such as hours, tickets, trail access and event schedules with the responsible business, organizer or agency.

Editorial approach
Useful details, clear sources and room for corrections.
Start with the source
The aim is to check important dates, locations and public information against original sources where possible, and link readers to organizers, agencies and businesses for current details.
Show commercial relationships
Advertising and sponsored placements should be identifiable. A directory entry is information about a business; it is not a promise about the quality, availability or outcome of its services.
Make corrections possible
Local information changes. If something is wrong or out of date, send the page link, the detail that needs attention and a source or contact that can help verify the change.
How the website is supported
Advertising, sponsorships & ownership
The site carries advertising and may also earn revenue from sponsored placements, enhanced business listings or affiliate links. Compensation may affect placement or visibility; it does not guarantee a favorable review or editorial conclusion.
Footer to Ridge Construction is owned by the publisher of The Wilkesboros. Its banner on this website promotes that business. This relationship is separate from the inclusion of other businesses in local guides.
Read the Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure for more information. For placement inquiries, contact the publisher.
