==Attractions== [[Korner's Folly]] was built 1878–1880 by Jule Körner, a grandson of Joseph Kerner, the town's namesake. It is now a tourist attraction, as a result of its very unusual design and architecture, featuring 22 rooms on seven levels, and 15 decorated fireplaces. It also houses what is said to be the first private Little Theatre in the U.S., dating to 1896. The house has been featured in ''[[The New York Times]]'' (March 10, 2006), in ''[[Southern Living]]'' Magazine (May 2004), and in a televised ''[[Our State]]'' Magazine production, among others. A model of the house was made into an ornament to represent North Carolina on the [[White House]] Christmas Tree in 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kornersfolly.org/index.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050306161251/http://www.kornersfolly.org/index.htm|url-status=dead|title=Körner's Folly|archivedate=March 6, 2005}}</ref> In the fall, Fourth of July Park hosts the annual Honeybee Festival.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Drabble |first1=Jenny |title=Kernersville Honeybee festival the place to be on Saturday |url=https://www.journalnow.com/news/local/kernersville-honeybee-festival-the-place-to-be-on-saturday/article_64d0f203-c704-54f5-9110-0076f14df6c8.html |website=Winston-Salem Journal |date=August 18, 2018 |access-date=March 26, 2019}}</ref> The Paul J.
