Weaverville

Weaverville is a town in Buncombe County nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina at about 2,170 feet (661 meters) elevation. The streets follow the natural contours of Dry Ridge, surrounded by the region's characteristic mountain landscape.

Michael Montraville Weaver donated land in 1875 to establish this community, building on settlements that began after the Treaty of Holston in 1786. The town grew from these early roots into a residential and commercial center.

The town supports a center for traditional arts and crafts where local artisans work with textiles and embroidery techniques. Visitors can watch these craftspeople create pieces using methods passed down over many years.

The library on North Main Street offers free Wi-Fi, meeting spaces, and community programs throughout the week for residents and visitors. This makes it a helpful place to stop for information, work, or to learn about local activities.

The ASPCA's Behavioral Rehabilitation Center is located here and works with dogs recovering from difficult situations. This specialized facility brings a distinctive mission to the community that many visitors are unaware of.
