Hendersonville History Walks - Main Street

On Saturday, June 7, the walk starts at 10 a.m. at the front steps of City Hall, corner of Fifth Avenue E. and King St. The stroll along Historic Main Street with tour guide Mary Jo Padgett will answer such questions as -- who donated the land where the new town would be built, what is the age of the oldest block of buildings, what was on the third floor (and in the basement) of the old City Hall, who was the town named for, where was the Opera House -- and learn about bordellos, “underground” shops, trolley lines, and stories of life in the old days on Chinquapin Hill.
