Tour the Thomas Wolfe Memorial

For history and literary fans, a visit to the Thomas Wolfe Memorial is a must. Located in the historic Old Kentucky Home, this house was once the childhood home of novelist Thomas Wolfe, whose most famous work, Look Homeward, Angel, was based on his experiences growing up in Asheville. The museum offers guided tours that explore Wolfe’s life and work, providing insight into the writer’s connection to the city. The home is beautifully preserved and gives visitors a sense of the early 20th-century life in Asheville.
