Hidden Gems of Henderson

Growing up, downtown Henderson always contained a certain sparkle that I couldn’t quite put into words. Something about the spring flowers and summer buzz puts a light in my eyes and a skip in my step. 

 As a Henderson native, I am constantly in awe of this tiny town’s hidden gems. Whether it be a coffee shop or a local business, we have so many special experiences to offer. Today, I hope to share some of our small town magic with you. If you come for a day, or just pass through, I hope you can find a little piece of home away from home.

BREAKFAST

Besso’s Coffee

Nestled at the corner of Main and North, Besso’s was a part of our quintessential downtown for quite some time. We are very excited to see it back in its home, lighting up the alleyway, and bringing smiles to our community every day. Whether you are looking for a place to cozy up, or get some work done, the crew at Besso’s will welcome you with open arms.

You may have seen, or better yet taste, Sweetly Ever After’s infamous wedding cakes, but their lunch menu is a southern staple. Whether you are coming in for a bite to eat, or to satisfy your sweet tooth, you’ll feel right at home.

Gene Record Park

Gene Record sits right off Highway 45, and is such a fun place to hang out on these spring days. With everything from a playground, a splash pad, a walking track, disc golf, soccer fields, and even a dog park, the whole family is sure to find something to love. It is also home to Henderson’s farmers market!
