We are located in the area known as Wolf Laurel in Mars Hill, North Carolina. We are located in Madison County.

Madison County was created in 1851 from Buncombe and Yancey counties. The county has had a long and colorful political history that dates to its creation, for the county was named after President James Madison. The county earned the nickname "bloody Madison" for the fights over political ideology that became polarized during the Civil War.

Marshall is the county seat of rural Madison County, which is now home to the Wolf Laurel Ski resort and Mars Hill College. The county also boasts some of the most beautiful mountain scenery, and the Appalachian Trail cuts through Madison County.

Today, the county is becoming more and more of a bedroom community to Buncombe County, as nearly half of Madison's residents drive to work in Buncombe. One of the biggest highway construction projects in Western North Carolina's recent history is underway, as state-contracted builders finish the construction of 10 new miles of Interstate 26.
