Drexel, centrally located in Burke County, is well known for its former furniture plant, Drexel Heritage. Today it is widely known for the Drexel Fair that runs an entire week in August and is the only remaining agricultural fair in the county. Drexel boasts The Drexel Barber Shop, which is nationally known for its Bluegrass jam sessions on Thursday through Saturday. For recreation enthusiasts, options include the RO Huffman Center, with adjoining baseball and football fields for youth and adult activities. The annual Christmas parade, held on the second Saturday in December, is a must-see!
