What To Expect

Saluda

A 35 minute drive southeast of Asheville will take us to our first stop, Saluda. It is a charming mountain town with a population of just 700. As you stroll down the picturesque Main street, you discover a delightful array of long-standing restaurants, unique shops a free mueum in the old train depot and several vibrant galleries. Since its establishment in 1878, Saluda has been a favored destination for mountain tourists. The one-street downtown has preserved its historical charm, with many of the buildings recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. One of these is Pace’s General Store, an old-fashioned hardware and general store founded in 1899, which was featured on “Our Vanishing Americana.”
