Guided History Walk

7th Ave. Train Depot District

This district was where it was happening in the Gilded Age of Hendersonville. Starting in 1879, the train depot brought steam engines and hordes of summer visitors, which in turn attracted drays, hustle, handsome hotels and overnight boarding houses, shoot-outs, candy stores, a lively livestock yard, and a thriving neighborhood. Meeting Place: Hendersonville City Hall, front steps (corner of 5th Ave. E. and King St.)
