About Kernersville

Kernersville is a Forsyth County town and the largest suburb of Winston-Salem, positioned in the Triad between Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point. It has grown steadily, but its older character is still visible in places like Korner's Folly, the Kernersville Depot, and the North Cherry Street Historic District. The town works well as a practical suburban base while keeping a distinct Main Street and historic-house flavor.
