Biltmore Estate to Reopen After Hurricane Helene Damage

The historic North Carolina landmark will welcome visitors again starting November 2, following extensive recovery efforts.

The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, was heavily affected by Hurricane Helene, which caused historic flooding and wind damage.
Despite significant damage to parts of the grounds, the main house and several key attractions suffered minimal or no damage.
The estate plans to reopen on November 2, marking the beginning of the holiday season and providing a boost to the local economy.
Some employees lost their homes due to the storm, and others have been temporarily furloughed due to a tourism decline.
Hurricane Helene has been one of the deadliest storms since Katrina, causing billions in damage and over 90 deaths in North Carolina alone.
