A mainstay of western North Carolina tourism is making a transition from attraction to a portion of a foundation.

Grandfather Mountain, incorporated announced yesterday that the attraction is now an arm of the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation. The Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation is a non-profit corporation established to preserve Grandfather Mountain, operate the nature park in the public interest, and participate in educational and research activities.

All proceeds from the sale of attraction tickets and souvenirs will be reinvested in the mission of the foundation.
