Historic Tour

2012 is Amost Here!

We are now taking reservations for the 2012 Season.  In March our online ticket sales will be available.  Below are listed the dates of the tour and special attractions here in Hendersonville that you might want to coordinate with your visit.  Why not spend the weekend.

There will still be tours available for charters of 17 guests or more.  We have many pretty days here during late fall and winter.

Looking for a great vacation or staycation value? This is it!

We are proud to offer the first and original Historic Hendersonville Tour.  This is our town and we would like to show you what makes it special.  This is not a "dusty ole' dates" tour.  Our 3 hour trolley tour is jammed packed with historical tidbits, oddities, appropriate reverence and pure fun.   The Historic Tour will start weekly May 21, 2012 and will run every Saturday morning through the fall.   Charter Tours are available.  Our guided tour includes:

  • The Historic Courthouse & Museum
  • The Curb Market *
  • St. John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church *
  • The Flat Rock Playhouse 
  • The Carl Sandburg Home (and pet some very cute goats) *
