About Brevard and Transylvania County

Transylvania County is a beautiful place every season of the year, but there is something particularly lovely about an Appalachian spring. We are home to the Pisgah National Forest, the Gorges State Park and the DuPont State Recreational Forest. So, while you are here for the Conference, we hope you will take some extra time to explore. Bike, hike, paddle, visit one of our 250 waterfalls, or stroll through downtown Brevard. Whatever you do, we welcome you to our county!
