Visit The Bunkum Stone, Asheville, North Carolina
The Bunkum Stone is an interesting tourist attraction in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina. This landmark is a sister to the Blarney Stone in Ireland. It is said that kissing the Bunkum Stone confers the gift of loquacity! Bunkum is the root of more common terms like ‘debunked’ and ‘a bunch of bunk’ that originated with a local politician known for overreaching when representing his Buncombe constituents in the United States Congress. The Bunkum Stone is named in honor of Felix Walker, the US Congressman from Buncombe County (1820) for whom the term 'bunkum' was coined.
