Most of the remaining "unique" accents in this country seem to be in areas with little outside contact. I'm sure certain villages in the Upper Peninsula would qualify. A more famous example might be the High Tider accent spoken in some of the isolated coastal North Carolina communities.

Define a "unique" accent.  There are a lot of accents out there, across the US and Canada.

Having grew up in eastern NC, my accent is the lovechild of Larry the Cable Guy and Foghorn Leghorn.

"Unique" meaning "spoken by a very small group of people".
