Vance's Birthplace in Weaverville North Carolina

Even on Sunday with its gates closed, Vance's Birthplace has many cars parked along the road with people "hopping the fence" to visit and take photos. It is located about 6 miles down Reems Creek in North Asheville / Weaverville (about 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville).

I remember going there in the fourth grade and watching ladies dressed in huge hoop skirts making candles. They let us make candles to take home with us. It is a beautiful place to visit, I have forgotten about taking my kids out there. Time for a road trip....
