  • Explore the renowned Biltmore Estate and the adjacent historic community of Biltmore Village. George Washington Vanderbilt II built the estate in the late 19th century as a French Renaissance-style country home, and the village was planned as a picturesque community to support the estate and its workers. Today, travelers can tour the grand Gilded Age mansion and grounds, as well as visit the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum, which preserves the legacy of Biltmore Industries. Biltmore Industries was an arts and crafts enterprise that began in the early 1900s with support from the Vanderbilts and others to teach and produce handcrafted textiles and crafts.
