Tickets are $5 and must be purchased the morning of the tour at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Visitor Center, located directly behind the historic boardinghouse. Please arrive 15-20 minutes early.
Asheville, called "Altamont" by Wolfe, was not only his hometown but the backdrop for his (in)famous novel Look Homeward, Angel.
The tour begins at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial in front of the Historic Old Kentucky Home Boardinghouse where Wolfe spent his childhood. From there, participants will stroll through downtown exploring sites connected to Wolfe's life. Throughout the walk, our guide will share excerpts from Wolfe's writings, anecdotes about his life, and insights into the Asheville of the early 20th century. Roughly 90 minutes, the tour will finish at the First Presbyterian Church, where our guide will be happy to chat and answer questions with anyone who wants to learn more!
