This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Asheville. I went years ago and it was massive and interesting and fun to see. It takes a good bit of time to see everything so plan accordingly. Also, I think getting tickets in advance is required these days!

They also carry my favorite pickle okra! (I always get the spicy) :) This place is pretty close to the cottage and a great spot to stop in before you get here! Plus, the owner is SO NICE!!
