Welcome to the #LoveHendo Special Edition of Hendersonville Magazine!

On behalf of the Hulsey Media team, welcome to the 39th annual edition of Hendersonville Magazine.

To recognize the great resiliency and inspiring spirit of our amazing community in the face of unprecedented challenges, we proudly present this new edition of Hendersonville Magazine with its special #LoveHendo theme. The 2020-2021 edition is dedicated to celebrating our community's love for Hendersonville and supporting the businesses, organizations and nonprofits most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through Hendersonville Magazine’s #LoveHendo initiative, and with the support of our amazing advertising partners, complimentary ad messages have been donated to many community non-profit organizations, restaurants and small businesses in this year’s edition. On pages 6 and 7 you will find a list of these advertisers and the small businesses and organizations they supported through our advertising sponsorship program.

To the fine local businesses who supported this cause, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. Without their support, this special #LoveHendo edition and the assistance offered to local organizations found throughout the magazine would not be possible. You too can say thanks to our advertising partners for what they did to support our community by acknowledging their contributions, and more importantly, by patronizing their businesses.

They represent the best of Hendersonville, and we encourage you to do business with them.

As your trusted local resource for nearly four decades, this year’s Hendersonville Magazine once again includes a wealth of comprehensive, completely local information for living, learning, working, playing, connecting and giving back in this wonderful place we call home.

We hope you enjoy.

#LOVEHENDO

OUR COMMUNITY LEADERS SHARE WITH US WHY THEY #LOVEHENDO “ I have loved Hendersonville since my first visit in spring 1975 and then moving here with my family a few months later. Although I may experience it differently in the future, my reasons for loving it haven’t changed. Our delightful downtown may sadly see some businesses closing but in time they will either reopen or be replaced with new ones. I will still see friends at the grocery or on the street, even if we do just smile with our eyes since we are wearing masks. And we will continue to support one another through our wonderful nonprofit organizations.”

BARBARA VOLK

Mayor of Hendersonville

“ The #LoveHendo campaign started as a crisis response to COVID-19, a way to share the ways that we could support our small business neighbors as the crisis hit. Right away we knew that we had tapped into the powerful connection people feel to Hendersonville.

The message of #LoveHendo is hopeful, that we are a strong community and that our strength is intertwined and supported by our small businesses. #LoveHendo will continue to remind us to show our love by supporting small businesses and connecting with the many products, services and experiences that you can enjoy right here in Hendersonville, many of which can be found in our incomparable downtown!”

LEW HOLLOWAY

Downtown Economic Development Director, City of Hendersonville

“ We are fortunate to live in a place where the giving hearts of our community members are abundant, and #LoveHendo is a true display of that generosity. Our local nonprofit sector has truly felt the love of our philanthropic community more than ever before. The people-oriented world we live in has been challenged during this unusual time of social distancing, but the benevolent spirit of helping neighbors in need has held strong. It is part of what keeps Henderson County at the forefront of being one of the best places to live not only now, but well into the future.”

MCCRAY V. BENSON

Community Foundation of Henderson County, President/CEO

“ #LoveHendo is a creation that was developed, through cooperation and selflessness, with a focus on supporting our small business community during its time of need. It is community partners coming together to provide a website offering businesses an opportunity to market their goods and services at a time when many have been forced to close their doors to the general public. #LoveHendo is The Chamber, Friends of Downtown, the Small Business Center at Blue Ridge Community College and individuals all working together for the benefit of our business community.”

BOB WILLIFORD

President of the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce

HENDERSONVILLE

Hendersonville – A City of Four Seasons Situated on a scenic mountain plateau 2,200 feet above sea level, Henderson County is cradled by the Blue Ridge Mountains, a geography that gives the area its four distinct yet temperate seasons.

Hendersonville was nicknamed the City of Four Seasons decades ago by the late Kermit Edney, a local weather expert.

He noted that this area provides the experience of all four seasons, though the mild climate does not subject visitors and residents to harsh winters as experienced up north or the extreme heat of a southern summer. Hendersonville’s pleasant climate traditionally attracted 8

part-time tourists and retirees, but as more people discover its excellent quality of life and four seasons of fun, Henderson County is now a destination that more visitors seek out year-round and where many families decide to make a permanent home.

Each season not only brings its own beauty to behold, but also provides a wide variety of activities and events to enjoy all year long. From fly fishing in the spring to hiking mountain trails in summer to snow tubing in the winter, there is always something fun to do in the city of Four Seasons.

SPRING Springtime brings warm days bursting with breathtaking scenery, and beckons individuals to venture outside to enjoy the outdoor activities this region is known for. Many take the opportunity to hike their favorite mountain trail, visit area waterfalls or take their mountain bikes out for a spin. Locals and visitors alike anticipate Downtown Hendersonville’s decorative plantings which include beds of colorful tulips which act as the perfect continued on page 10 Hendersonville Magazine 2020–2021

Over the years, Main Street has been the place for parades, street dances, art and garden shows, band concerts, craft fairs and Apple Festival events.

Downtown Hendersonville is further distinguished by its engaging public art. Since 2002, Hendersonville has given nod to the black bears that live in North Carolina with the Bearfootin’ Public Art Walk. The walk exhibits bear statues created by local artists and sponsored by businesses.

Each year after being on display on the main promenade from May

through October, the bear statues are auctioned to raise money for local nonprofits and the enrichment of downtown programs, including community events, public art and other beautification efforts.

The “Mountain Memory” fountain on Sixth and Main Streets pays homage to the region’s natural heritage by depicting the prominent peaks

surrounding Hendersonville and the area’s rivers. A patriotic mural is found along King Street, paying tribute to veterans and their military service.

The annual Hendersonville ArtScape Banner Project, a collaborative effort involving local arts organizations and other community partners, showcases about 40 banners displaying the work of talented regional artists.

FLAT ROCK St. John in the Wilderness was originally built as a private chapel, organized in 1836 and was the first Episcopal Church in Western North Carolina.

Flat Rock – Little Charleston of the Mountains For centuries before settlement of the earliest land grants in the area between 1789 and 1799, the “Great Flat Rock” was a gathering place for the Cherokees for trading and socializing among themselves and other tribes. The area

was a wilderness with nothing more than foot trails along streams, in gullies and over and around ridges.

In 1793, early land grantee John Earl (a.k.a., Earle) was paid to open a road

from upstate South Carolina through the Saluda Gap to Flat Rock where he had a grist mill on what is now Highland Lake.

The later completion of the Buncombe Turnpike over Native American trails and drover roads through Flat Rock and into South Carolina around 1820 lead to trade between the two areas.

In 1827, Charles Baring, a rice planter from the Charleston area, was looking for a place to provide relaxation and cool summer air for his ailing, English-born wife, Susan. He found what he was looking for in Flat Rock and immediately was enthralled by its beauty and climate. He bought 400 acres and built the first estate – a summer residence called Mountain Lodge. The Barings also built a private chapel on the estate which in 1836 became St. John in the Wilderness, the first Episcopal church in Western North Carolina which continues today as an active parish. continued on page 32

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and author Carl Sandburg and his wife raised dairy goats at Connemara, a tradition that continues today.

In 1830, Judge Mitchell King of Charleston came to Flat Rock and renovated an old trace mill into a residence he named Argyle.

Baring and King bought tracts of land at prices ranging from 25 cents to $1 an acre. Eventually, they acquired much of the Flat Rock area and then sold the tracts to other Charleston families.

Within 20 years, Flat Rock became a colony of elegant estates and luxurious summer homes.

Today, the Village of Flat Rock retains the quiet sophistication of its Charleston heritage interwoven with the delightful flavor of the mountains.

Still a community of graceful homes with many of the original mansions still standing, Flat Rock has blossomed ever so carefully as an attractive commercial center as well.

With a nod to Charleston’s Rainbow Row district of pastel colored historic townhouses, Flat Rock’s Little Rainbow Row along Hwy 225 includes several brightly painted cottages, offering art, distinctive wares and eateries. Also on Hwy 225, Flat Rock Square is home to professional offices, retail businesses and the Flat Rock Cinema.

Hendersonville Magazine 2020–2021

Historic Flat Rock, Inc. was formed as a nonprofit in 1968 and celebrates more than 50 years of preserving and restoring properties of note in Flat Rock. The organization through the years has offered home tours, benefit parties and a Heritage Tree Program to help protect Flat Rock’s rich architectural heritage and cultural landscapes. Historic Flat Rock is responsible for having the Village of Flat Rock be designated as the largest Historic District in North Carolina.

Flat Rock also is home to the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site, a property administered by the National Park Service, and the Flat Rock Playhouse, the official State Theatre of North Carolina.

Another highlight of the community is The Park at Flat Rock which is located in the French Broad watershed on the site of a former golf course. The park features open fields, reforestation

areas, a variety of flora and fauna, a walking trail that meanders around the perimeter of its 66 acres, a welcome center with a community room meeting space, handicapped-accessible restrooms, an open-air pavilion and a playground.

Residents also carry on the tradition of celebrating summer each year at Flat Rock’s Ice Cream Social. Held the first Saturday in June, residents

and visitors gather that afternoon at Village Hall to enjoy cool sweet treats and camaraderie.

Although growth to such an attractive area is inevitable, the government and villagers of Flat Rock are vigilant about maintaining woods, green spaces and the calm pace of life – keeping Flat Rock just as charming and compelling a place as it was when Charles Baring first laid eyes on it.

Historic Flat Rock, Inc. (HFR) is a preservation nonprofit founded in 1968.

HFR, as an all volunteer organization, established the Flat Rock Historic District in 1973. The District is recognized by The United States Department of the Interior and the State of North Carolina, Office of Historic Preservation.

Today the Flat Rock Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places, is the largest Historic District in the State of North Carolina encompassing 6.25 square miles. We share its history to ensure its future through educational efforts. We are proud to protect landmarks of historical, architectural, recreational and cultural value.

Bring lunch from a local eatery and sit at 1 of the 3 picnic tables at The Preserve and Bird Sanctuary across from The Wrinkled Egg and Flat Rock Bakery. HFR owns and maintains The Preserve for all to enjoy.

In 2021 we will be premiering the first-ever documentary film about the Flat Rock Historic District “To Protect and Preserve: Historic Flat Rock’s Legacy to Keep”, by One Life, One Legacy Films. The Western North Carolina based film company preserves the legacies of people, places and times through artfully crafted film documentaries - OneLifeOneLegacy.net

FLETCHER

The Town of Fletcher operates under a council-manager form of government based at Fletcher Town Hall.

Fletcher – Family-Friendliness Fuels Fast Growth Close proximity to Hendersonville and Asheville combined with a familyfriendly quality of life have fueled the Town of Fletcher’s rise as the fastest growing municipality in Western North Carolina.

Fletcher was incorporated in 1989 but has a history that harkens back to the 1700s. The town is named for Dr. George Fletcher who became the local postmaster in 1886. Many settlers were drawn to the Fletcher area for limestone mining, which continues today at a quarry along Fanning Bridge Road.

The residents of Fletcher today enjoy a town that is centrally located with quick access to I-26 and the convenience of Asheville Regional Airport nearby.

34

Easy interstate and airport access also has been conducive to industry in Fletcher. Local manufacturers that have chosen Fletcher for their facilities include BorgWarner, Cane Creek Cycling Components, Putsch and Wilsonart.

Residential growth has been spurred

by Fletcher’s mix of housing options that include single-family homes i n s u b d i v i s i on s , t o w n h om e s , condominiums, small, cottage-style homes and apartments.

Families in Fletcher also have several educational options nearby. In addition to Henderson County Public Schools’ Fletcher Elementary School, FernLeaf Community Charter School is a public

The Fletcher Library is popular with residents and has become one of the busiest branches in the Henderson County Public Library system. Library visitors often stop at Kate’s Park, a small park next to the library that has a playground, paved walking trail, small picnic shelter and green open space.

The 75-acre Bill Moore Community Park draws visitors from throughout Western North Carolina. The park includes five baseball/softball fields, three multi-purpose fields, a picnic shelter, a playground, a nine-hole disc golf course, arboretum gardens, walking trails, a dog park and access to Cane Creek.

LAUREL PARK Operated by the Town of Laurel Park, Laurel Green features a flat walking loop, a gazebo and a playground.

Laurel Park – From Resort Town to Enchanting Residence The charming cottages and narrow curving roads of present day Laurel Park are gentle reminders of this town’s lively past as a summer resort.

A quiet, year-round, mainly residential community today, the Town of Laurel Park remains a captivating tangle of interesting lanes, mature landscaping, thickets of rhododendron and attractive neighborhoods.

From the early- to mid-20th century, Laurel Park was known for its active summer schedule. Rhododendron Lake – the largest of the community’s several lakes, which also was sometimes informally called Laurel Park Lake – had a beach, a waterslide and a pavilion 36

with the second largest dance floor in the region jutting out over the water.

Beginning in 1903, a special rail line brought summer residents from Hendersonville directly up Fifth Avenue to Laurel Park. In 1910, an incline railway was added to take tourists up the mountain to an observation deck with a spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

By the 1920s, Laurel Park even had its own casino.

The mid-1920s saw a real estate boom that started in Florida and rapidly spread to other resort areas including Henderson County. Commodore J.

Construction on the Fleetwood Hotel near Jump Off Rock began in 1925 but was halted four years later. It remained unfinished for another six years until it was dismantled in 1935.

Hendersonville Magazine 2020–2021

THE LEGEND OF JUMP OFF ROCK One of the most famous and frequently visited sites in Laurel Park is Jump Off Rock which features hiking trails and striking mountain views. The rock’s name comes from a legend that’s hundreds of years old. As the tale goes, a young Cherokee woman and Cherokee chieftain often met at this ledge. When tribal wars called him away, they promised to meet at the rock upon his return.

Every evening, the woman climbed to the rock to watch for the chieftain. She often sent out plaintive notes of a Native American love call but no answers came back. Returning warriors brought the news of the young chief’s death in battle. In the twilight, she climbed to the edge of the cliff – and jumped. The haunting notes of her love call hushed forever, lore has it that on some moonlit nights, the ghost of the heartbroken maiden can be seen on Jump Off Rock.

Jump Off Rock The scenic drive up Laurel Park Highway ends at Jump Off Rock with spectacular views of distant peaks.

Perry Stolz, builder of the famous Miami Beach Fleetwood Hotel, bought land atop Laurel Park near the famed Jump Off Rock and began construction on a 15-story Fleetwood Hotel in 1925 – the same year Laurel Park incorporated. The next year, a devastating hurricane hit Florida.

Commodore Stolz lost everything.

Construction was halted. In 1929, the Great Depression made efforts to complete the hotel hopeless. The unfinished building was sold to salvage in 1935.

As automobile ownership increased, people could vacation where rail lines did not go. Laurel Park began its transition from an active summer resort to a tranquil residential community.

Although the beaches, the big lakes and the pavilion remained active through the 1970s, they too slowly disappeared.

Today, the site of the old Rhododendron Lake is now Rhododendron Lake Nature Park, another lovely natural amenity of Laurel Park. Still lush and beautiful, Laurel Park is a town rich in history that continues to attract new residents who discover its unique charm.

MILLS RIVER Mills River Town Hall also is home to the Mills River Library.

Mills River – Rural Roots in a Blossoming Community Mills R iver is both the oldest community in Henderson County and its youngest municipality. Settled hundreds of years ago and named for a tributary of the French Broad River,

Mills River has a rich history, much of which is rooted in farming and agriculture that continues today.

Since its incorporation in 2003, lower density housing development policies

in the 22-square-mile town have helped Mills River retain its rural feel. Not far from Hendersonville, Asheville or Brevard, the town is amidst the mountains and has lots of farmland.

The 50 -acre Mills R iver Pa rk includes multi-use trails, a dog park, a playground, a picnic shelter, a basketball court, and tennis and pickleball courts. At the back of the park there is a canoe and kayak launch and a handicapped accessible fishing pier on the Mills River. The Town of Mills River is in the early design and planning stages of the Mills River Valley Trail, a multi-use recreational path along NC 280 that will tie into a similar path planned for Hwy 191.

Within the park, the Town Hall is home to government offices as well as the Mills River Library, a branch of the Henderson County Public Library that opened in 2005.

NORTH CAROLINA LAW PROTECTS PETS IN VEHICLES While it’s not illegal to leave pets in vehicles, doing so has the potential to be hazardous to pets. For the health and safety of animals, North Carolina law allows any animal control officer, animal cruelty investigator, law enforcement officer, firefighter or rescue squad worker who has probable cause to believe an animal is confined in a vehicle under conditions likely to cause suffering, injury or death to enter a vehicle by any reasonable means under the circumstances after trying to locate whomever is responsible for the animal.

Conditions that can endanger pets include heat, cold and lack of adequate ventilation.

OUR ECONOMY Southern Appalachian Brewery was the first in Hendersonville.

The Perfect Climate For Growing Businesses With its diverse economic sectors, strong workforce and entrepreneurial spirit, Henderson County is not only a place where retirees enjoy the fruits of their labor but also where new businesses take root and well established industries thrive.

A s with most rura l a rea s, the education and healthcare sectors are top employers. Independent stores in bustling downtown Hendersonville and throughout the county make the retail sector robust. Retiree wealth helps bring strength to the financial and professional services sector and agriculture, manufacturing and tourism remain cornerstones of Henderson County’s economy.

AGRICULTURE Since William Mills planted his first apple tree in the Fruitland area of Henderson County at the end of the 18th century, agriculture has been a staple of Henderson County’s economy. Apples are still king here with the county being ranked first in apple production in all of North 114

Carolina, growing up to 80% of the state’s entire apple crop on more than 150 orchards in Henderson County.

Having that many apples to manage also has spawned other related ventures such as packing houses, traditional and hard cider producers and many roadside stands. For a directory of local apple outlets, orchard trail guides and information about tours, visit ncapples.com.

But apples are not the only things growing in Henderson County. Berry production is increasing in the county, while the area is becoming known for grape production for wine. In addition, local farms produce a wide variety of field crops and nursery and sod crops, as well as beef cattle and other livestock.

In recent years, “agri-tourism” has added to this sector’s bottom line.

Farmers markets, “u-pick” operations,

hayrides, farm tours and tasting rooms can all be found in Henderson County.

With the popularity of locally grown foods, agri-tourism and craft beverages, agriculture here has become even more significant. Today, 557 farms with nearly 38,000 acres operate within the county. Agribusiness in Henderson County employs more than 8,150 people and brings in annual receipts of $400 million.

To help ensure that agriculture remains a growing sector in the local economy, Agribusiness Henderson County assists new and existing producers in their agricultural pursuits. This public and privately funded nonprofit also operates the Southern Mountain Fresh Program, which brings the public and locally grown food together.
