Mountain peaks, rippling streams, boulder-strewn rivers, serene meadows, gushing waterfalls, all surrounded by majestic trees, colorful wild flowers, and the birds, reptiles and mammals native to the county are part of the heritage of Henderson County.
The culture of the early pioneers was shaped by the natural features that surrounded them as they settled into the coves and hollows of the mountains.
