Andy Griffith

We stopped in Mount Airy, North Carolina.  This is the town where Andy Griffith was born and is said to be the inspiration for Mayberry.  The Andy Griffith Museum was full of memorabilia from the Andy Griffith Show, Matlock, and movies he was in like “No Time for Sergeants”.

The bad part of the museum is that no pictures are allowed.  I’d love to show you the Barney Fife suit (remember how proud he was when dressing up in a ‘fancy’ suit and going on a date with Thelma Lou?) and a suit from Matlock.  I instantly could see Matlock in court with that light colored suit.  Instead, I can show you a Mayberry sheriff car and the Andy & Opie sculpture.
