Then and Now- November 2025 and Circa 1940- This used to be Kilmichael Tower in Little Switzerland, North Carolina. It was built in the 1930’s. By the 1960’s, the tower fell into disrepair, the wooden upper section collapsing. The base was restored in the 1980s as a cottage. It is now an AirBnB that you can rent.

Kilmichael Tower, atop Grassy Mountain, was one of the attractions built by the Clarkson Family and Switzerland Company in the 1930’s as a gathering place for the community and as a tourist attraction.

Constructed out of native stone laid by Fate McKinney and other family members, who were aided by oxen Pete and Repete, it featured 360 degrees, panoramic views of the mountains. To the west arose Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains; to the south, Linville Mountain, the South Mountains, Turkey Cove and the Catawba River valley; in the east were views of Table Rock, Hawksbill, and Grandfather Mountains; and in the north was Roan Mountain.

The Tower was named after the Clarkson family’s ancestral holdings in Scotland – Kilmichael which means Church of Michael.
