Mars Hill is a small college town perched on a hill 18 miles north of Asheville.
Dominated by the
Mars Hill College campus, this quaint village is surrounded by
picturesque rolling mountains and valleys. The
college, a Christian liberal arts
school, is the oldest educational institution in North Carolina and attracts
students from all across America.
Wolf
Ridge Ski Slopes, the closest ski resort to Asheville, is also found on the
outskirts of Mars Hill.
Mars Hill is known for its rich music and crafts heritage.
Renowned musicologist Bascom Lamar Lunsford, founder of the Mountain Dance and
Folk Festival, grew up here and brought international recognition to the
region’s traditional mountain music. Every autumn the Heritage Festival
celebrates mountain crafts, arts, and music, and highlights the town’s role as
the historic center of the clogging dance tradition.
