Join travel expert Barbara Paulson on Thursday, July 27th at 7:00 p.m. to explore the hidden gems of Ashville, nestled in the mountains of North Carolina. Yes, there’s the world’s largest private residence (the Vanderbilt’s 250-room Biltmore), but there’s so much more to this genteel southern town with the hip vibe. There are Appalachian artisans, the Moog synthesizer store and factory, the highest per capita number of microbreweries in the U.S. (hence one of Asheville’s nicknames: “Brew City USA”), a 35-site 1.7-mile urban walking trail, and author Thomas Wolfe’s childhood home.
