| Western North Carolina is defined as much by the various chains and valleys within the Appalachian Mountains as it is by the various people here. The region contains large swaths of national forest lands and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It contains old rivers and old folkways, along with an increasingly large stream of transplants and temporary visitors. This virtual tour gives a broad overview of our region. |
The Asheville Home Builders Association is a trade organization for the building industry in Western North Carolina, focused on being an advocate for the builders in our community. Associated with the North Carolina Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders, the Asheville Home Builders Association represents over 850 members consisting of builders, contractors, real estate agents, suppliers, insurance agents, sub-contractors, and more.

| VISIT US! To ensure the safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers, we will reopen for timed, private, self-guided, pre-booked tours of the historic Smith-McDowell House and Western North Carolina exhibit rooms.
Tours are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis: Wednesday – Saturday Tour reservations last for 1 hour to allow time for cleaning between groups. All visitors, staff, and volunteers are required to wear masks while inside the building. |
A weekly space for writing in community while practicing social distancing. Join online every Wednesday night in April to increase accountability as it relates to your writing practice, whatever that may be.
We’ll come together once a week to connect and engage in the active writing process. Each session will start by sharing intentions, followed by an agreed upon period of time for silent writing, and wrap with reflections about process and plan for the following week. Casual and seasoned writers alike welcome!
If you are interested in registering, send an email to [email protected] with the subject line “Writers Group.” We will send you a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
