George and I visited Waynesville, the county seat of
Haywood County, on October 28, 2010. It was a beautiful fall day, and the first time to Waynesville for both of us. We found the newer Haywood County Courthouse first, but I was especially charmed by the OLD Haywood County Courthouse, so you'll find a couple of pictures of it below!
Haywood County was part of
Buncombe County until 1808, and was named after former State (NC) Treasurer
John Haywood.
If you've read the book
Cold Mountain, by
Charles Frazier, or seen the movie based on the book, you'll like knowing that there is a real Cold Mountain, and it's in Haywood County. George and I didn't go there, but here's a
webcam of Cold Mountain.
I wonder what Wayneville's like in the spring! I'm ready to go back, but in the mean time, the rest of my Haywood County pictures are
here!
