Review:
Henderson is a picturesque city located along the banks of the Ohio River. Known for being home to the Southern Cherokee Indian Nation, the city was named after Colonel Richard Henderson, a pioneer and land speculator. Henderson is also known for its strange weather patterns.
The “Great Sleet of 1901” drenched the city in icy rain for three weeks straight, and the city has experienced cyclones, flooding, and other intense phenomena. For tourists, Henderson presents plenty of opportunities for entertainment because of its unique festivals. The Handy Blues and Barbecue Festival and the Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival are some of the most popular in the area.
