The Henderson County Curb Market: A Blue Ridge Heritage Since 1924

Ann Greenleaf Wirtz

This book is an historical record and accounting of The Henderson County Curb Market located in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Originally an open-air farmers’ market, it was established in 1924 under the guidance and inspiration of Frank L. FitzSimons and with the support and promotion of Noah Hollowell, publisher of the local newspaper, The Hendersonville News. Several years after its beginning, a lot was purchased and a building constructed to house the home-grown food and flowers and the homemade items sold by the local families who were active in the Market. Some of the vendors today descend from the original, hard-working families who devoted their lives and made their livelihood from the Curb.
