What are Some Unforgettable Things to Do in Asheville?

20 Get an eco-warrior power boost at Energy Park

The Jackson County Green Energy Park (JCGEP) in Dillsboro uses methane from the old town landfill and other renewable energy sources to power artisan studios. These spaces produce blown glass and ceramics, for example. You can visit to learn how the energy park functions, attend beginner to advanced creative classes, buy art, or rent some of the facilities. It's a great sustainability initiative to model because it prioritizes both people and the planet. The park was temporarily closed in January 2023, so check its status before trekking there.
