 BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIR

Mark Rumley, Owner of Indigo Joe's Sports Pub & Restaurant in Kernersville, accepts appreciation plaque from Körner's Folly Director, Connie Martin.
Indigo Joe's was the Gold Key Sponsor of the 1st Annual Beer Tasting, a specialty beer and gourmet food tasting event, held Saturday April 19 on the grounds of Körner's Folly. Along with sponsoring the large event tent, Indigo Joe's also provided a variety of delicious food items and several of the specialty beers served at the event.

Körner's Folly, the showcase home of artist, designer, decorator Jule Gilmer Körner, has intrigued neighbors and visitors to Kernersville, NC for over 125 years.

This historic and eccentric structure offers 22 rooms spread out over seven levels on three floors. Ceiling heights range from 5-1/2 feet to 25 feet, with 10-foot doorways and 2-foot passageways. Ornate mantles top the 15 fireplaces, and decorative murals and detailed woodwork adorn every room. A winding staircase dizzies the mind as it takes you from level to level. These are but a few of the magical enchantments to behold in this grand home.

The Körner's Folly Foundation, a non-profit organization created to preserve, restore, and maintain Körner's Folly, is responsible for the operation and restoration of the home. Körner's Folly is open to the public for walk-in tours year round.
