Abstract:

From a horseback jaunt in 1887 to one of the United States most prestigious mansions, Biltmore Estates and Gardens have had blossoming history. The 125 room castle was originally built on 100,000 acres of wooded countryside by George W. Vanderbilt. Now the lavish Estate rests on 12,000 acres and draws in thousands of visitors every year.
