Community Information: Waynesville, NC
Just 30 minutes west of Asheville, North Carolina, in Haywood County, you'll find the mountain town of Waynesville, home of the quintessential Main Street experience and gateway to the Smoky Mountains.
BHTV: The History of Folkmoot USA in Waynesville, NC:
BHTV: Folkmoot, Where Many Cultures Meet In WNC:
BHTV: Cataloochee Ski Area offers the Perfect Terrain:
Haywood County tourism generates around $150 million annually. And, the entire region is also a popular second home getaway for folks who love the Carolina mountain living lifestyle—which at 3,600 feet, is one of the highest around. In our mountain communities and the great outdoors, there are countless ways to Live the Life You Choose.
“The town of Waynesville, and Main Street, is an historic district,” says Mayor Gavin Brown. “One of the interesting facts about Waynesville is we're one of the original participants in the national Main Street program. The property owners in the Town of Waynesville realized that a vibrant, alive downtown was necessary to keep the community itself alive and vibrant. And I'm very proud of the fact that our storefronts are inviting to people. When tourists come here they view Waynesville as the truly Norman Rockwell setting that they envisioned when they grew up.
“Our town itself is now a vibrant place where you see the arts alive, where you see restaurants alive, where you see shops alive, and people actually enjoying their stay in the town of Waynesville,” says Mayor Brown. “Everybody buys into the fact that Waynesville and Main Street is gonna be a place where people walk, where people talk, where people share events. As opposed to a place that you drive through, we're gonna have a little bit of that old town feeling where people are warm to one another and people welcome each other. So, when you come to Waynesville you realize that you really are at home.”
Located near the center of Haywood County’s 554 square miles, Waynesville is an excellent launching off spot to explore Pisgah National Forest, the 500,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and nearby Maggie Valley, home to the Cataloochee Ski Area.
“Having lived here all my life I have an affinity and a love for the mountains, themselves,” says Mayor Brown. “My favorite thing to do is to simply get on the expressway and keep going west until the sun sets. And if I get to the Blue Ridge Parkway or I get to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, I just keep on goin' cause there's nothin' to stop me.”
“One of the great things about Western North Carolina is all the varied activities you can do,” says Chris Bates, general manager of the Cataloochee Ski Area. “We usually ski, at Cataloochee, from the beginning of November until the end of March. We're fortunate, here in North Carolina, to enjoy the beautiful, blue Carolina sky a lot of days of the year. We have 17 trails with snowmaking and lights on them for night skiing. And, we have one natural graded area that we use when we get natural snowfall. I try to get out there at least a couple times a week and ski, myself. And just enjoy the product we put out and have a good time sliding down the mountain, because that's what it's all about.

Waynesville - North Carolina - 4K Downtown Drive
Late afternoon drive in and around the downtown area of Waynesville, NC.
Filmed: October 2020
From Wikipedia:
Waynesville is a town in and the county seat of Haywood County, North Carolina, United States. It is the largest town in Haywood County and the largest in western North Carolina west of Asheville. Waynesville is located about 30 miles (50 km) southwest of Asheville between the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains.
As of the 2010 census, Waynesville had a population of 9,869. The town is located just outside the Pisgah National Forest and is close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Waynesville and Haywood County are part of the four-county Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area, currently the fifth largest metropolitan area in North Carolina. It is the third largest town in the MSA behind the cities of Asheville and Hendersonville.
Neighborhoods:
Downtown - Once the primary retail business center of the town, downtown Waynesville is now home to art galleries, cafes, restaurants, shops, banks, doctors offices, and town and county government administration buildings.
Frog Level - The historic district whose name came about because of frequent flooding of Richland Creek. As transportation shifted from railway to cars in the 1940s, business shifted up the hill to higher ground. By the '70s and '80s, Frog Level became known as a seedy part of downtown, mainly due to a now-closed bar called The Tap Room. In recent years, the revitalization of Main Street has spread down into this area. In 2003, the Frog Level Historic District was placed in the National Register of Historic Places. The local merchants association presents The Whole Bloomin' Thing Spring Festival every year just before the last frost date, marking the start of planting season for the locals. The festival draws approximately 8,000 attendees to the area and features nature-related themes. The historic Murphy Branch of the old Western North Carolina Railroad runs through Frog Level and still carries freight rail traffic twice daily from the Blue Ridge Southern Railway, which now owns the line.
Hazelwood - Due to financial troubles, this once independent town ceased to exist and was annexed by Waynesville in 1995. Its ZIP code is 28738.
Laurel Ridge - The Laurel Ridge neighborhood is connected to a country club of the same name and features a golf course, pool, tennis courts, and upscale mountain homes.
West Waynesville - Once the industrial part of town, West Waynesville is now home to Waynesville Commons, a large retail shopping center which sits on the site of an old Dayco rubber hose factory. The center includes retailers Walmart, Best Buy, Belk, PetSmart, Michaels, Rack Room Shoes, GameStop, Sally Beauty Supply, Verizon Wireless, US Cellular, Super Clips, Mattress Firm, and OneMain Financial.
Russ Avenue - A newer business district featuring restaurants, retail stores, auto dealerships, banks, and grocery stores. Russ Avenue is the most traveled surface street in Haywood County and is slated for a major makeover by the NCDOT in 2020.

Driving Downtown, Waynesville, NC, USA 2021 | Slow TV | 4K Ultra HD
A drive to the city center of Waynesville, NC in July 2021.
From Wikipedia
Waynesville is a town in and the county seat of Haywood County, North Carolina, United States.[5] It is the largest town in Haywood County and the largest in western North Carolina west of Asheville. Waynesville is located about 30 miles (50 km) southwest of Asheville between the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge mountains.
As of the 2010 census, Waynesville had a population of 9,869.[6] The town is located just outside the Pisgah National Forest and is close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Waynesville and Haywood County are part of the four-county Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area, currently the fifth largest metropolitan area in North Carolina. It is the third largest town in the MSA behind the cities of Asheville and Hendersonville.
Geography[edit]
Waynesville is located southwest of the center of Haywood County at 35°29′00″N 82°59′40″W (35.483226, −82.994511),[7] in the valley of Richland Creek, a tributary of the Pigeon River. U.S. Routes 23 and 74 (the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway) form a bypass along the northwest side of the town, with access from Exits 98 through 102. The highways lead northeast to Asheville and southwest 18 miles (29 km) to Sylva. U.S. Route 276 passes through the center of Waynesville, following (from north to south) Russ Avenue, Walnut Street, Main Street, and Pigeon Street. US-276 leads north 5 miles (8 km) to Dellwood and southeast over Wagon Road Gap 39 miles (63 km) to Brevard
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 8.9 square miles (23.1 km2), all of it recorded as land.[6]
Most of the town of Waynesville lies between 2,600 and 3,000 feet (790 and 910 m) above sea level, in a valley among 5,000-to-6,410-foot (1,520 to 1,950 m) mountain peaks. With the high Great Balsam Mountains to the WSW, and the Plott Balsams to the WNW, a handful of peaks over 6000' in elevation are clearly visible from town. A USGS survey marker at the old Haywood County Courthouse in downtown Waynesville lists the elevation as 2,752 feet (839 m) above sea level.
History[edit]
The town of Waynesville was founded in 1810 by Colonel Robert Love, a Revolutionary War soldier. He donated land for the courthouse, jail, and public square, and named the town after his former commander in the war, General Mad Anthony Wayne.
The Boone-Withers House, Citizens Bank and Trust Company Building, Former, Francis Grist Mill, Frog Level Historic District, Haywood County Courthouse, Alden and Thomasene Howell House, Masonic Hall, Charles and Annie Quinlan House, Clyde H. Ray Sr. House, Frank Smathers House, Spread Out Historic District, Waynesville Municipal Building, Dr. J. Howell Way House, and Waynesville Main Street Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[13][14][15]
Waynesville was incorporated as a town in 1871. In July 1995, the towns of Hazelwood and Waynesville merged into one community and continued to grow with a population today of almost 10,000.
The Battle of Waynesville[edit]
Waynesville was the scene of the last and perhaps most unusual skirmish in the eastern theater of the American Civil War. On May 6, 1865, Union Colonel William C. Bartlett's 2nd North Carolina (Federal) Mounted Infantry were attacked at White Sulphur Springs (east of Waynesville) by a detachment of rebels from Thomas' Legion of Highlanders, who had been summoned by locals.
East of the Mississippi, Thomas' Legion fired The Last Shot of the Civil War in White Sulphur Springs, North Carolina. The Legion consisted of Cherokee and White soldiers. Some of these soldiers had served under Jubal A. Early during the Shenandoah Valley Campaigns of 1864, but had been sent back to their native North Carolina mountains to engage in guerrilla warfare against the remaining Union forces.
The disoriented Union soldiers retreated into Waynesville, and on the evening of May 6 remaining elements of Thomas' Legion surrounded the town. The soldiers lit numerous bonfires on the ridges above the town and engaged in war chants in an effort to intimidate the Federals. The following day the Confederate commanders Gen. James Green Martin and Col. William Holland Thomas (for whom the Legion was named) negotiated a surrender. These commanders had been made aware that Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston had already surrendered and that continued hostilities would prove pointless.

The Main Street Waynesville's Main Street is a stunning destination for shopping lovers with general stores, bookstores, boutiques, and galleries.

Lake Junaluska is a census-designated place in Haywood County, North Carolina, United States, and a manmade lake in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is part of the Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Lake Junaluska is named after nearby Mount Junaluska (now North Eaglenest Mountain), which was named after Chief Junaluska, a Cherokee leader in the early nineteenth century.
The 200-acre manmade lake of the same name is surrounded by private residences and the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center. The lake is fed primarily from Richland Creek and discharges into the creek, maintaining an approximately constant lake level. Richland Creek is a tributary to the Pigeon River. Recreation on the lake includes canoes, kayaks, fishing and swimming. To maintain a quiet environment, only electric trolling motors are permitted to operate on the lake. There is a 3.5-mile (5.6 km) paved walking trail around the lake. The Blue Ridge Parkway is nearby, as is Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
