Hensley Settlement

Step into the past at the historic Hensley Settlement on top of Brush Mountain. Stroll down fence-lined lanes, visit the blacksmith's shop, look into the springhouse and sit in the one-room schoolhouse. The settlement was established in 1904 by Sherman Hensley and was occupied until 1951. The historic buildings remain and can be visited on this 3.5-4 hour tour.
