Vance Birthplace
Governor Vance was the governor of NC during the civil war. I visited Vance Birthplace several years ago. It was part of a project for a humanities course I was taking at UNCA. Anyway, I was quite impressed. I saw the movie on Governor Vance then I took the guided tour. We went through the log house, then the smokehouse and then the slave quarters. The tour guide knew the material and made the tour interesting. Vance’s Birthplace is located in Weaverville and is a short drive from Asheville.
