| Description: |
Discover Asheville’s first mansion and oldest surviving structure, now restored as a history museum.
Built by one of antebellum North Carolina’s most influential citizens, this National Register property was once the home of mayors, a Confederate Major, and friends of the Vanderbilts at nearby Biltmore Estate.
The house itself is a treasure but what is really special about the Smith-McDowell House is that it is filled with some of the most interesting exhibits in the area. The exhibits change 5 times a year. Many of the exhibit items are from private collections and loaned to the museum for short durations.
Coming on March 21s - April 15th is the Easter Exhibit. For the Victorians, Easter officially welcomed springtime. Easter baskets, old-fashioned bunnies and chicks, hand-painted eggs, spring flowers, and period-inspired decorations create the authentic feel of a Victorian Easter celebration throughout the circa 1840 Smith-McDowell House. This is something to see so stop on by and explore.
Smith-McDowell also has many special events for adults and children. For more information visit their website:
