After spending some time at the Biltmore, we spent the rest of our late afternoon and evening hanging out in Asheville. Asheville is a true small cosmopolitan town, hip to the nature of young “city folks”. Most people will like it here, as it is modern and nice. Yet, it’s small enough to feel homey. The pictures I have don’t do it justice.
The next day we began our voyage back to Ohio. Along the way, we visited the Ramsey Plantation, located just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee. This plantation is quite smaller that what we think of as plantations, as it was built in 1797. It was originally owned by Colonel Francis A. Ramsey who wrote the Annals of Tennessee.
This kitchen was a later addition to the Ramsey house by one of the Colonel’s later wives. The architect of the original house disapproved as its structure was inferior and it ruined the symmetry of the house.
After visiting the Ramsey plantation, we hopped back into the car for a quick trip back to Ohio!
