The 2025 Holiday Tour of Inns was held last Sunday, December 7th. It was a fundraiser for local preservation efforts and a great opportunity to take a peek at some of our local historic inns. It was sponsored by the Historic Preservation Commission and Tourism Development Authority. Here are a few photos from Sunday's tour at the 6 inns on the tour. It was a great opportunity to learn the history about each inn from the owners. Try to attend next years tour!

Just a heads-up reminder that your can recycle those old Christmas light strings that are no longer working and support the local 4H by taking them to the Henderson County Extension office located in Jackson Park. There is a container for them just inside the front door.
