My visit started by seeing the 20 minute video about the life of Thomas Wolfe. That was followed by the tour of his home, and ended with going though the museum. The video was quite informative. One of the very good things about the tour of the house was that the rooms were all furnished---most with furniture that was in... More

One of the highlights of our visit to Asheville. Thomas Wolfe's home was sold to the city in the 1940s by his brother thus all the furnishings are original. Our guide was fantastic!
