You are invited to bring your family to the Seventh Avenue District on Saturday, April 28th to see vintage vehicles proudly displayed by Hendersonville’s Antique Car Club from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. In addition to the unique vehicles, the day will include great local food and music provided by Tom Brown, the One Man Band. Come to Hendersonville’s Seventh Avenue district, park around the old train depot area and then spend some time strolling along Maple Street just to admire the Hendersonville Antique Car Club’s vehicles and vintage motorcycles parked there. Their vintage motorcycles, autos and trucks will be parked all along Maple Street which will be blocked from the corner of Seventh Avenue.
Enjoy a nostalgic trip into past transportation vehicles as you wander all around these lovingly restored beauties. This cruise-in will have something for everyone including classic cycles, daily drivers, muscle cars, trucks and more. Viewing a vehicle representing your own past always brings back memories and often leads to discussions with bystanders and owners. For those too young to remember these veteran vehicles, the cruise-in may become an opportunity begin their education into the history of the motor vehicle in the USA.
There will be food booths at the cruise-in including Daddy D’s, a Southern & Soul Restaurant and the Depot Diner. Each will be serving their usual tasty selections throughout the day. Tom Brown will provide music from the 50’s and 60’s to go along with these vintage vehicles.
All of the other Historic Seventh Avenue District shop owners will be open for business. Please feel free to browse through the shops for gifts, antiques, unique baked goods, fresh organic vegetables, locally brewed beer and more.
If you have a vintage motorcycle, circa 1989 or earlier, come and display your bike. For additional information, please contact Terry Ketcham at 828-890-8246.
The Apple Valley RR Club train display, located in the train station, will be open the entire day. Everyone is invited to tour their newly renovated facilities and see the many intricate train displays that appeal to young and old alike. After admiring all the lovingly restored vehicles, why not take the opportunity to stroll along Seventh Avenue and become acquainted with all the interesting new businesses that have opened in this historic district of Hendersonville?
Seventh Avenue originally developed as a commercial district during the late 19th and early 20th centuries around Hendersonville’s first train depot which was established in 1879. The majority of the buildings are simple one and two-story brick commercial and warehouse structures in the typical pattern of buildings connecting to each other. There are thirty-two contributing structures in the district. This area is currently undergoing revival as a viable commercial area. You are invited to come to 7th Avenue and see the new businesses occupying this revitalized historic area.
