Off the Beaten Path: Weaverville, N.C.
It’s easy to like a place where even the parking lot is charming and comfortable.
Towering dutifully between the two entrances of the small downtown parking lot, an ornate, old-fashioned black iron clock greets visitors to Weaverville, N.C. A couple of pleasant walking trails meander off the shady back part of the lot, truly inviting even if you have to be somewhere at a particular time. The charm is relaxing, the complete opposite of “urban bustle”—it’s the kind of kicking-back you can do when literally everything you could need is within sight.
Only those who come here expecting a “tiny Asheville” will be disappointed for, although Weaverville lies a mere 10 miles north of Asheville’s epicenter, it has an entirely different, eminently refreshing hometown flavor. The two share kindred appreciations for the arts and for history, but Weaverville’s approach remains smaller-scale, more communal.
