Old Town District
What you need to know
The Old Town District is Black Mountain's walkable historic downtown, a few blocks of locally owned shops, galleries, craft stores, restaurants and cafes in commercial buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Seasonal festivals, live music and art markets keep it busy, and it's about 15 miles east of Asheville.
Local's Tip
Browse Town Hardware & General Store for old-school finds, then walk a few blocks to Lake Tomahawk Park for a break between shops.
What the locals say
Locals like the slower, friendly pace and the mix of mountain-town feel with arts and dining. Shops carry antiques, handmade crafts and Appalachian heritage goods, and small festivals in the public spaces bring the whole town out.
