Walk of Fame Steering Committee

The Walk of Fame Steering Committee was established in 2016 by the Henderson County Board of Commissioners to honor those individuals who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the quality of life in Henderson County – who have, indeed, cast a long shadow on our county history.

The honorees may come from any field of endeavor – agriculture, business, cultural arts, education, government, human services, industry, medicine, religion and others. The Walk of Fame Committee is proud to present the first class of honorees, nominated by citizens and selected by a panel of judges knowledgeable about and invested in the growth and quality of this wonderful place we are proud to call our home.
