Thomas Wolfe Memorial

The mission of the Thomas Wolfe Memorial is to preserve and interpret the history of the author Thomas Wolfe and his mother's boardinghouse, as told through his novel Look Homeward, Angel.

The Thomas Wolfe Memorial interprets the life and literature of Asheville's most famous native son through guided tours of his mother's boardinghouse and world-class customer service to its visitors. Special programs throughout the year include the Thomas Wolfe Festival, living history programs, and special guided tours of the site.
