Biltmore 1949


There is some GREAT personal writing on the back of this postcard I found recently, sent in 1949. The writer tells her friend that she had difficulty talking her travel companions in to seeing the Biltmore as it was $2.40 each to go! She notes that one rug was valued at $75,000! She describes the beautiful garden and mentions the flowers she saw. She also talks about the Holly Inn, where she had reservations, had closed.

This blogger payed about $60 to visit about a year ago with a coupon. I was happy to see it, by the way.

  1. The Biltmore is an amazing place to visit! We visited a couple years ago when we were in Gatlinburg. I'd love to go back again soon!
