I hope to make it to Asheville someday in the near future. My dad’s grandparents are from Asheville, NC and my great grandmother was employed at the Biltmore by the Vanderbilt family around the turn of the century. It’s stunning and I’m happy to see history preserved.
Wow, that’s really great you have that family connection and history. I would recommend to you prior to ever visiting Biltmore to contact them and speak to one of the curators who might be able to do a bit of research on your great grandmother. They might have some records or perhaps something tangible that you could make a copy of for your records, etc. Thank you for watching my video and for sending this great bit of intel. Best regards.
This video was our first time visiting and we loved it. We hope to make it back perhaps in a different season like Christmas to give a whole new experience! Thank you for watching! We appreciate you sharing your experience.

Absolutely. It is massive. And walking the estate makes it seem even more so as the home is the centerpiece and nearly always the backdrop no matter where you’re at on the estate. Thank you for watching and for stopping by!
Thank you for the Vanderbilt's your video was very lovely and awesome amazing enchanted journey to see In my life time I truly appreciate and thank you and forever grateful and thankful hopeing to see more of your wonderful videos in the near future Always greatful and forever appreciated

Thank for the information. We didn’t necessarily forget that one but rather tried to capture some of the biggest movies filmed there. There have been actually over 20 movies that have been filmed there so it certainly has been a choice place for many. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to send us a comment.

@@historyandrelics Im sorry i didnt do it an uncle did in the days when it wasnt so easy back in the 60s he traced it back to about 1550 in england but only on my paternal names side

Wow! Didn't know that about the Titanic. Could have changed the course of history had they been on the ship. I'm visiting for the first time mid October. Super looking forward to my visit.
Awesome! I’m always happy to hear from folks who take away something from my videos that they didn’t know previously. By the way, please check out my channel as I did a separate video on the Vanderbilts and the Titanic. Even more interesting there. Thanks again and best regards. Take care.

I recently took a special guided tour for "Guests of the Vanderbilts". There were 6 of us, and each of us was given a calling card with the name of an actual guest. My avatar was William Field, George's best friend and Best Man. This was a wonderful experience, more in-depth than the public tour. At the end of the tour, we were introduced to the "Biltmore Nonsense Book", where departing guests were asked to leave rhymes and short poems inspired by their visits. We were asked to contribute and were given an e-mail address. I love to write limericks, and I wrote the following. The line about moose heads refers to the mounted trophy heads on the walls of the grand dining room. George was not a big-game hunter, but bought the collection to decorate the house.

I toured this house years ago but at the time many rooms seemed dirty, furniture shabby and not taken care of but your pictures are beautiful so perhaps they were going through some renovations at the time. The architecture of course is stunning and beautiful. I may need to revisit.
Oh wow. Yeah, we did not encounter anything like you described. It was beautiful and in many cases looked untouched or as if they had just left moments earlier. Truly an amazing home filled with even more amazing treasures. Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I agree. They did a great many things that changed many lives and the course of history itself. Thank you for watching. I invite you and all folks who stop by, watch, or comment to subscribe if you like! Best regards!
Oh I bet this place is beautifully stunning at Christmastime. Can only imagine! I’m glad you had the opportunity to visit and thank you for watching! Best regards.
Thank you. Great video. I have never visited Biltmore but wonder how Mr. Vanderbilt had so much money to build such a huge castle. I would feel lost and afraid living in a building so large when you don't even need most of the rooms. Wonder why Mr. and Mrs. had separate bedrooms and didn't have more children to help fill the house; although who could fill all that space. Just read The Wedding Veil by Kristy Woodson Harvey which was based on Biltmore and George, Edith, and Cornelia, and that led me to find out more.
Hello and thank you for writing! I’m glad you liked the video. I invite you to subscribe if you like! George Vanderbilt inherited much of his wealth from his father and his Grandfather before him (Cornelius) where the wealth was initially built being in the shipping/transportation industries. I do have one other video that touches on this that also expresses his connection to the Titanic. The home is huge for sure. Way more than even the wealthiest of people need today but built I believe as a status symbol of their wealth and prosperity. Still not sure on their separate rooms but I do know that was quite common place back in the day. Hope you get a chance to visit one day. It certainly is worth the visit and experience if you’ve never been. Thanks again for watching and sending a comment. Great to hear from you.
@@nosbusa1500 No, he did not inherit all of the monies as he had siblings which also received a share in the inheritance. Whether it was evenly split or some other percentage, is not known however. Thanks for watching and participating in the chat. Take care and best regards.
Railroad, many had ties with that business and got rich. It was quite lucrative, and people did not have cars like today. Money is handed down from generation to generation and they have people looking out for their business transactions to help it grow as they do work to help it of course.
And I’m quite sure there are more even beyond that that were officially or unofficially done at Biltmore but we highlighted the biggest ones we thought folks would readily recognize. Thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed and get an opportunity to visit sometime yourself. Best regards.
Hello, Welcome, and thank you for subscribing! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a beautiful home and we hope to return one day ourselves as one day or season is just not enough. Thanks again! Happy New Year!
"Despite his admiration for the grandeur of Biltmore, Hughes also acknowledges the darker side of the estate’s history. He writes that “it was impossible to forget that a lot of Negroes had worked and sweated and died so that the Vanderbilts could have their great house.” This statement acknowledges the fact that many of the paid laborers who built and maintained the estate were African American, a fact that may not be evident when initially discussing of Biltmore’s history."
Yes, the photos of the construction site that they have here are incredible- just a massive amount of workers, equipment, and building resources! If they couldn’t bring there or if what they wanted or needed didn’t exist, they made it happen by either paying to bring it in or building what they needed on site and hired people to run it and make it happen. A true example of “Build it, and they will come”. Thanks for watching and sending us a comment! Best regards!
I toured back in 2013 as a detour from the Blue Ridge Parkway where we stayed at the Pisgah Inn. I knew nothing about the estate or the Vanderbilts until I went there. That place gave off some weird vibes. You didn't photograph the basement. Interesting graffiti on the walls. George seemed to be your classic dandy. Had family money, didnt hold a job but was quite capable of apending his inheritance on whatever bauble struck his fancy. Odd place to build a summer house when you want to make sure you can entertain and impress people. Out in the middle of nowhere, where no one can hear you scream.
Growing up in Winston-Salem NC and a frequent visitor to the mountains of NC..i have visited Biltmore on numerous occasions. Having not visited in awhile i went in late summer 2022. I was excited to visit the estate again but was very disappointed on arrival to purchase my tickets that they did not accept cash. It is my understanding that cash is legal tender in the USA but Biltmore refused to accept it citing Covid pandemic as the reason. As a person that does not use credit cards I was dumbfounded. The spread of Covid due to the use of cash is one I had not heard about. Our money passes thru so many different hands that I can understand the fact that it is not very sanitary but to only accept credit cards... Oh and personal Checks.. BUT NOT CASH was unbelievable. Needless to say I left the grounds and it will probably a long time before I visit again or even recommend others to visit.
I tend to agree with you and have experienced many places not accepting cash. Seems only smaller and more “mom & pop” businesses prefer cash over credit primarily due to the cost of accepting credit. However, I think it’s worth considering at least why larger institutions/businesses don’t accept cash is primary due to insider fraud including theft, embezzlement, etc. which is an ever growing problem in society. And if fraud isn’t to blame, then the “dumbing down” of society is. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve encountered folks, generally younger people, who cannot count money, make change, or know how to properly handle physical currency. As such, some businesses have discontinued the acceptance of cash in favor of lessening their overall losses. It doesn’t eliminate it, but does lesson a risk. It’s crazy, sad, and true - a new reality. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and taking your time to watch my video. I invite you to come any time you would like. Best regards.
Very well could explain a lot there and elsewhere through the U.S. and the world. The architecture of this scale is not exhibited but only in a few examples today and is, in many ways, a lost art that many cannot fathom accomplishing today or even come close to matching. Beautiful architecture nonetheless. Thank you for watching. Great hearing from you.
Oh, I’m quite sure. I wonder if they tell any of those stories or have ghost walk or something around Halloween? Would love hear some of those stories or see some photos/video.
It is certainly enormous! And we wondered the same thing once we completed the tour - what would someone even today do with all that space - let along 100 years ago..lol. It’s all about the prestige I suppose. Thank you watching. This home is definitely worth the trip and will leave you in awe.

Then they will turn it into a ghoulish attraction. There were photos there of George and his hunting buddies holding rifles. Out there in the middle of no where, wanna bet they weren't hunting deer?

The pool?? Not used for swimming. Truth about this place will soon be revealed. Have your puke bucket ready!
Then they will turn it into a ghoulish attraction.
There were photos there of George and his hunting buddies holding rifles. Out there in the middle of no where, wanna bet they weren't hunting deer?
George also looked like a flaming fag. I think he just had the obligatory child to direct suspicion away from his proclivities. Maybe she isn't even his.
