Biltmore Estate after the deadly Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina in September, forcing the closure of one of the area's most popular tourist attractions. The Biltmore Estate will re-open on November 2, Saturday, the company said in an official press release.
The historic 8,000-acre estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains Biltmore estate sustained varying degrees of storm damage when Hurricane Helene ripped through western North Carolina, bringing unprecedented flooding and destructive winds to the area, reported Fox Business. Biltmore Estate is one of the largest and most historic attractions in Asheville and has been shut since Helene battered the western Carolinas as a tropical storm.

«For more than 125 years, Biltmore has been a witness to the resilience of this community,» Biltmore staff wrote on social media. «The compassion and resolve of our region have been rising every day from beneath the weight of this storm. Thanks to the incredible work of so many generous people, recovery is happening all around us.»
The company said Biltmore plans to reopen November 2 in time to «celebrate the joy of the holiday season together» during its beloved Christmas at Biltmore holiday tradition.
