Historic Buncombe County ford across the North Fork of Big Ivy Creek. McKinney's Ford was a river crossing on the old wagon road from Asheville to Burnsville and was used from the 1850's up to the 1920's. It's about one half a mile Southwest from the Carter-Swain House, (c. 1849) which in the later part of the 19th century, served as a store, post office and inn on the old wagon road.
