BREVARD NC: Cute Mountain Town Near ASHEVILLE NC

I think I'll try some Quitxote, tonight! We have been meaning to go there... now you have finally talked us into it. Looked great! Thanks for sharing.

Cute, charming town. We just hope Libs don't destroy it like Asheville.😮

Kurt's shirt is awesome lol 👍

Hi new subscriber here. I live in the area as well. 👋 I have never seen a real white squirrel but still am waiting to see one in person. 😀

Where do newbies live? Husband considering a job there but rentals seem hard to come by and real estate is still super high.

nice couple

Next time your in the white squirrel shop, My girlfriends knits those sweaters for the stuffed white squirrels the lady sells. Imagine peoples reaction when they ask "So what does your girlfriend do for a living" haha

Kurt and Sara, love your video. And agree Sara has a great smile. You say that you ended up in Hendersonville. Could you share what you think about the differences between there and Hendersonville? Thinking about a possible move to the area. Thanks!

Great video, I've been to Western North Carolina many times I enjoy the waterfalls the sense of Southern community and white squirrels 😁

What’s the name of the store with the bear skull? I will be in the area in October and would love to go there.

My husband just surprised me with a trip to this amazing little mountain town. First of September. Maybe we will visit the antique shop. Hope to see you wondering. You are doing an amazing job.

Please don’t encourage people to move here - we will lose our small towns and become overcrowded - will lose our southern language culture and way of life - already getting to many upscale places to eat at and shops - that encourage city life and people that want cities

Wow! GReat little tour guys! I've sent the link to my sister in Florida.....hoping she'll go check out towns on the north side of the Appalachian Mountains and far away from the Atlantic Ocean.....at this particular point in time! So thanks SO MUCH!!! And Kurt.....your lady has one of THEE VERY MOST GORGEOUS smiles I've ever seen during my 74 years on this planet!!! Many, Many Blessings Upon You Both! D

There are also white squirrels near Cashiers NC. White Squirrel Lane off of Hwy 107.

Guys I'm from Brevard a carnival truck wrecked years back that's where the white squirrels come from I don't know who told you the story but they've been mislead. The legend goes that Brevard’s white squirrels originated from a carnival animal truck. According to Brevard resident Mrs. W.E. Mull, a pair of white squirrels was given to her brother-in-law, H.H. Mull, by Mr. Black of Madison, Florida, in 1949. A carnival truck had overturned near Black’s home and the squirrels were caught by Mr. Black when he observed them playing in his pecan grove.


Mull gave the critters to his niece, Barbara, who unsuccessfully tried to breed them. In 1951 she married and left home. Eventually, one of the white squirrels escaped and Mr. Mull soon let the other one go. Before long, the squirrels began breeding in the wild and appeared in several areas of town.


The white squirrels became so prized that the Brevard City Council voted in 1986 to approve an ordinance declaring and establishing a sanctuary for squirrels, especially the white ones, stating that it “shall be unlawful for any person to hunt, kill, trap, or otherwise take any protected squirrels within the city by this section.”


Biologists recognize no known species of all-white squirrels in the world. The Brevard white squirrels, with dark eyes and sometimes gray streaked fur, are not albinos but a white variant of the eastern gray squirrel, and make up almost a third of Brevard's squirrel population.


In addition to Brevard, white squirrels have been spotted in Olney, IL; Versailles, IL; Hodgenville, KY; Marionville, MO; Trenton, NJ; Bloomfield, NY; Greenwood, SC; and Kenton, TN. But only Brevard holds an annual festival in their honor!

I am from Brevard my husband is from Rosman n.c. we have realtives that live there.

Fantastic video!

Great video. I have my morning coffee with two white squirrels, every morning, in my backyard. Perks of Brevard life. 😁

Did you use a realtor to find a place!?

The squirrel at the end was the white icing on the cake for this vid

Thanks for the video, I’m heading up in august from Florida to scope out areas, for a possible future move. Staying in Flat Rock and Waynesville.
