About Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest
The Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest area covers Graham County's premier old-growth wilderness — a 3,800-acre Nantahala National Forest area featuring 400-year-old tulip poplars (some of the oldest hardwood trees in the eastern US, named for poet Joyce Kilmer who wrote "Trees"). Surrounding the forest are mountain cabins, custom estate homes, and the iconic "Tail of the Dragon" route (US-129's 318 curves in 11 miles). Roofing in the Joyce Kilmer area is a mountain-cabin market with strong demand for standing-seam metal and snow-guard systems.
