Led by the city of Asheville, the region offers a sophisticated arts and restaurant scene as well as serving as the center of traditional mountain culture such as bluegrass music, clog dancing, and the unique crafts that have thrived as throwbacks to the regions historic roots.

Asheville is also home to the Biltmore Estate, built by George Washington Vanderbilt in 1895. It remains to this day the largest private home ever built in America. The house and its magnificent land holdings and gardens are open to the public, and tours of the house and grounds are among the most popular attractions of the area.
