Back in 1892, a fellow named Evan Pell purchased the land where this restaurant now sits for $27. He built the unique mountain structure himself and ran it as a general store, allowing farmers on their way to the market in Asheville to stop and water their livestock in the small creek that still borders the property. In the years after that, the building was used as a school, a post office, a tack shop, and a private dwelling for such characters as Uncle Bubba Bryson, Wimp Davis, and others. In 1971, the Purple Onion Shoppe was opened by Ske Dick as an outdoor deli-style restaurant. Eight years later, Scott and Brien Peterkin purchased the property and formed the Cornucopia Restaurant, or, as the locals call it, “The Corn,” or “Cashiers’ Favorite Porch.”

Silver Run Falls in the Nantahala National Forest is just four miles south of Cashiers in Jackson County. This 25-ft. waterfall cascades into a tranquil pool with a small beach area. So it's a popular swimming spot in the North Carolina mountains. This means it can be crowded on hot days since its safe for small children to enjoy the water. But on other days, you can often enjoy all by yourself.

Fall Activities
Find a unique fall leaf-looking experience in the North Carolina mountains in Jackson County! Go bear "hunting" near Cashiers and "shoot" one with your camera. The “shadow of the bear” is visible for 30 minutes daily (on sunny days!) between 5:30-6:15 PM from mid-October through early November. Watch from the Rhodes Big View Overlook on scenic US Highway 64 a few miles west of Cashiers and five miles east of Highlands.
Insider's tip: This natural phenomenon tends to gather a crowd so please proceed with caution to the overlook. Unknown to many is that the Shadow of the Bear also makes an appearance during our “Secret Season.” Mid-February to early March, the shadow can be enjoyed with little to no crowds at all. Avoid weekend crowds and enjoy the same views on weekdays, along with your pick of charming inns and popular restaurants in the nearby cool towns.
