Waynesville

Small Appalachian community

Waynesville is a place name for several American towns, most notably in North Carolina and Ohio.

The North Carolina town sits in the Great Smoky Mountains and draws tourists for outdoor recreation.

The Ohio town claims to be the "Antiques Capital of the Midwest." We stopped in Waynesville on our way through the mountains.
