About Lansing, North Carolina
Lansing, NC is a small rural town in the middle of Ashe County. It was established in 1882 with the
original school being built in 1889. Lansing saw significant economic growth during 1914 – 1916 when
the Virginia Creeper was constructed. The town was incorporated in 1928. This led to a boon in the
logging industry while it was at its highest peak. The post war era saw the lumber industry leave the area
but Lansing served its community by always having a grocery store, restaurant, church and post office.
Lansing stayed about the same for several years until a few years ago. Recently there has been a re-
surgency in Lansing and the historic downtown area. The Creeper Trail Park is home to many activities
throughout the year. Lost Province Cultural Center is blossoming into a center for culture, creativity and
celebration of Appalachian culture. Lansing has seen 6 new businesses open in the recent past and
there are multiple buildings in different stages of renovation. Come to see us and stay a while.
