My wife and I had our first date walking the square near the monument. Now while the monument itself is nothing to really look at the surrounding buildings and fountains are beautiful.

The Vance monument located in downtown Asheville is impressive with its towering height. Zeb Vance's leadership helped the people of NC survive after the Civil War ended.

This is something that everyone passes almost daily when driving through the Pack Square location, but take for granted. Each time I walk, however, I take note of it and the surrounding bronze sculptures and surrounding bldgs.

If you like historical then this is for you. Peaceful and in downtown you can also visit other attractions.
