Waynesville: Haywood County Seat in the Smokies
Waynesville is the seat of Haywood County, in the mountains of western North Carolina west of Asheville. The town was established in 1810 and named for General Anthony Wayne, the Revolutionary War commander known as Mad Anthony. Waynesville serves as the gateway community to the eastern entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Balsam Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway run along the eastern edge of the county.
Main Street Waynesville has retained a compact historic commercial district with local restaurants, galleries, and retailers. The town has developed a reputation for arts and crafts, with numerous studios and a gallery scene concentrated downtown. Lake Junaluska, a retreat center operated by the United Methodist Church, draws visitors for religious conferences and events.
Haywood Community College and Shelton House, which houses the North Carolina Museum of Handicraft, contribute to the town's civic life. The Cold Mountain of Charles Frazier's novel lies in Haywood County, and the book's success brought additional attention to the area.
