News and Events

When visitors first set foot in Western North Carolina, they are welcomed with an experience unique to the Blue Ridge Mountains. At once innovative and historically-minded, towns and cities throughout the region offer a charming and dynamic culture that has delighted residents and visitors for generations.

Hendersonville, North Carolina, home to gated community Fox Run Preserve, is no exception. Upon entering downtown, visitors may be surprised to find an avant-garde atmosphere alongside the beautifully-preserved buildings, emphasis on Appalachian crafts, and traditional Southern hospitality. An array of contemporary art galleries, a nationally-recognized performing arts scene, and modern communities like Fox Run Preserve welcome guests just as much as the town's historic charm. Hendersonville's distinctive environment also means that there are city-sized offerings when it comes to festivals and activities, and during upcoming weeks, several events will showcase the history of the region while also offering residents and visitors a modern and creative experience.

Everyone should mark their calendars for the weekend of September 25th, when there will be many options for things to do in the area. First, visitors should consider stopping by the Henderson County Curb Market's Old Timey Day, where they'll be treated to sausage and ham prepared in a wood stove, traditional Appalachian music, an antique display, demonstrations, and more. But if you can't make it, you'll find that the market incorporates mountain traditions into their products everyday, and you can always pick up homemade jams, hand-crafted gifts, and fresh baked goods year round.

During that same weekend, you may also want to venture into nearby Asheville, which is a convenient and short drive away from Fox Run Preserve. The North Carolina Arboretum will be celebrating Heritage Crafts Weekend with exhibits and demonstrations. While there, guests can learn about what the Arboretum is doing to preserve the region's cultural heritage today as well as see several of their contemporary galleries and gardens.

You may also want to take some time to visit the community of Fox Run Preserve, where preservation is a core component of the neighborhood's design. To schedule a tour or to learn more about available Hendersonville real estate, complete a contact form online or call Sonny Iler at 828-329-9777.
