Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions

Asheville, North Carolina (1x5)

Air date: Jun 01, 2000

Asheville is considered to be one of the best places to live in the United States. The city itself is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains…mountains that are filled with local craftsmen who are producing some of the finest handmade objects in the world. At the edge of town is the largest private home in North America, over four acres on the inside. The traditional forms of dance and music have been preserved and are easily available to visitors. And there’s an Inn that stands as one of the highest-rated family resorts in the nation. And of course we’ll sample some Southern recipes.
