Today, North Carolina visitors have an opportunity to visit “Mayberry,” which was patterned after the town Griffith grew up in, Mount Airy. To get the lay of the land, a must-do in Mount Airy is a squad car tour. The Andy Griffith Museum is filled with memorabilia and is next door to the Andy Griffith Playhouse. Mount Airy is a friendly city, and its residents enjoy the fact they are a “sister city,” so to speak, to Mayberry. The friendly residents of Mount Airy don’t seem to mind when you slip and call their town Mayberry.
