Through May 23, admission to the Asheville, North Carolina, mansion owned by the Vanderbilt family includes the chance to roam 8,000 acres of historic gardens and grounds in spring bloom with ever-changing colors and personality.
Including with admission is “A Vanderbilt House Party: The Gilded Age.” Reproduction of clothing from the Vanderbilts’ own wardrobes are displayed in the settings in which they were originally worn. Spring is also great for exploring in a growing list of ways: segwaying past golden canola blooms to a lagoon built simply to reflect the mansion, paddling or floating the river rapids, even trying falconry.
