World-renowned novelist Thomas Wolfe grew up in this 28-room Victorian boardinghouse once run by his mother. It served as the background for his first book, "Look Homeward, Angel." Tours and exhibits offer a fascinating look at the famous author (born nearby in 1900) and at a bygone way of life! Seasonal activities include summer music performances on the front porch.
Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for children. Admission for pre-registered adult groups is $2.50 per person. School groups are admitted free.
The historic site is closed on Mondays. For information call (828) 253-8304.
