Guided Hendersonville History Walks

Historic Main St.   … Oakdale Cemetery  …  7th Ave. Train Depot District … and — new this year — Murals, Mosaic, and Ghost Signs

Take a 90-plus minute walk along Historic Main Street to learn about Hendersonville’s history and architecture and hear fascinating stories of the past.  Or, see the Look Homeward Angel grave marker, the inspiration for Thomas Wolfe’s novel, and hear lively stories about former colorful residents while strolling through Oakdale, Hendersonville’s municipal cemetery.   Or, stroll along 7th Avenue/Historic Depot District, where the action was when the first steam engine locomotives rolled into town starting in 1879 bringing hundreds of tourists.  Or, join the newest walk — Murals, Mosaic, and Ghost Signs.
