Vanderbilt — sold approximately 86,700 acres of the Biltmore Estate to the federal government, including the site of the nation’s first school of forestry, now preserved at The Cradle of Forestry historic site. Over the next few decades, more tracts were added, and today the forest offers access to the beauty and wilderness of the N.C. Blue Ridge Mountains.
