Visit to Historic Hendersonville NC

Yesterday we took a leisurely stroll through historic downtown Hendersonville, NC. This is not the first town I have been to where local artists decorate a particular statue. In Stuart Fl. it is turtles, in Cheyene WY, it was cowboy boots, and in Custer SD it was buffalo. Well in Hendersonville NC, they do Bears. Here are a few samples, Yankee ball player, doctor, and fisherman.




Mast General Store has been there since 1883. They have the old wood floors that creak when you walk on them. They sell everything from soup to nuts. You can buy the old fashioned candy out of barrels. Of course, I found a blouse on sale that was perfect.

From there, we drove to Carl Sandburg's home. It is called Connemara. It is set on a hill overlooking a beautiful pond. I bet it is even more beautiful when the leaves change in the fall.
