Letter from the Village of Clemmons

From the Village of Clemmons CLEMMONS MAYOR NICK NELSON

Welcome to the Village of Clemmons, a special place that truly embraces modern amenities, mixed with the comforts of Southern charm. With only 10 miles separating downtown Clemmons from downtown WinstonSalem, the 5th largest city in North Carolina, Clemmons is a perfect place to visit, host a conference, own a business, or reside with your family. Clemmons has its own charm and attractions, with the option of an easy commute to an urban environment.

The Village of Clemmons has been a host for visitors and travelers for 215 years. We would like to invite you to discover the rich history of days past when Clemmons was established as a hub for agriculture and industry. Visit Clemmons Milling Company, one of the oldest structures in Clemmons, located on Hampton Road. The grandson of Peter Clemmons, founder of the Village owned a successful stagecoach business. His last and largest coach, “Hattie Butner,” has been restored and is on display in Village Hall. Find out more about our rich history, and explore a driving tour on page 22.

The Village of Clemmons has a vibrant business community with over 1,000 registered businesses. Many of these include locally owned and chain restaurants. In fact, there are over 27 choices of dining within a one-mile radius. Businesses include retail, manufacturing, and professional services. The Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce is extremely active in the community, welcoming businesses of all sizes and varieties.

We would love to host your next conference, meeting, or special event. Other than the hospitality and wonderful amenities, another thing that makes us stand out is the abundance of FREE parking. There is not a single paid parking lot or meter located within the entire Village of Clemmons. With meeting facilities that can accommodate up to 1000 people, as well as smaller and more intimate venues, we can accommodate a wide range of group requests. The area offers accommodation options for every size and budget. Selections range from three hotels to a 44 campsite RV campground to a historic bed and breakfast. Allow Clemmons to be your “home base” for access to the Yadkin Valley Wine Region, located just west of the Village and home to 42 wineries and vineyards open to the public. If you enjoy gol ng, we have 16 courses within 20 miles that can challenge golfers at all levels. Several of these local courses have even hosted major tournaments in the past. Enjoy a serene morning or afternoon in the picturesque North Carolina landscape while you home your game.

While you are here, we encourage you to spend time outdoors. Enjoy a hike or a bike ride along the Village Point Greenway. Bring your shing pole to catch “the big one” from the Village Point Greenway Pier. From May until the end of October, Saturday mornings are booming at Village Hall, home to the Tanglewood Farmers Market. Throughout the year, bring your family to one of our many family events, including Movie Nights in the Village, a free showing under the stars at the Jerry Long YMCA; Pedal and Metal Fest, featuring bike safety demonstrations and big trucks of all kinds; the Clemmons Ice Cream Festival, featuring live music and everyone’s favorite summer treat; the Monster Dash and Goblin Hop, including community partners with activities and treats for your little ones to trick-or-treat around the greenway; as well as our Annual Tree Lighting.
