Four Seasons.”

Things to Do
Because Hendersonville is on the National Register
of Historic Places, the downtown area of
Hendersonville has become a popular spot for the
city’s cultural developments and economic growth.
Tour the downtown area and stroll through the many
specialty and antique shops and restaurants that
offer something for everyone. Also a popular spot to
visit and check out is the Jump Off Rock, a scenic
overlook that shows panoramic views of the Pisgah
and Blue Ridge forests. The area has been made
famous by an old Indian legend and ghost story. Many
residents and visitors alike enjoy a day at the
Dupont State Forest which has hiking, biking and
streams and waterfalls for all to enjoy. The forest
encompasses over 10,000 acres of land in
Transylvania and Henderson Counties. If you would
like to learn more about former residents of the
area, then visit the homes of Carl Sandburg, in
Fletcher, or the wealthy tobacco farmer, Oliver
Moss’s Historic Johnson Farm. The more popular
things to do in the Asheville/Hendersonville area
are visit Lake Lure and check out the Biltmore House
in Asheville. |
