As you stroll along, you&rsquo;ll learn about the Cherokees&rsquo; roots in the region. Find out how they used old bison trails to hunt, travel, and establish trade routes! As you continue, you&rsquo;ll revisit the founding of the city and beyond. Hear how the Civil War impacted Asheville and the people living here.

Then you&rsquo;ll come to the Appalachian Stage, the first of many fascinating sculptures along the walking trail. Unearth the history of Appalachian music and its unique influences, from Irish folk music to African American gospel!

As you proceed onto Woodfin Street, you&rsquo;ll get to know author Thomas Wolfe, who was born and raised in Asheville.

Here you&rsquo;ll get to know Asheville&rsquo;s namesake, Samuel Ashe, and learn his story, full of orphanhood, struggle, and legacy.

After that, get spooked by stories of the boojum, a Sasquatch-like figure with a fondness for precious stones and pretty women! And you can&rsquo;t miss the next stop: it&rsquo;s the Jackson Building, once the tallest skyscraper in North Carolina. Finally, you&rsquo;ll reach the bustling Grove Arcade, home to all kinds of unique shops and dining options.
