The Cradle of Forestry in America is nestled in the Pisgah National Forest along the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Our trails offer visitors a chance to explore seven historical buildings from the time of the Biltmore Forest School ), climb aboard and ring the bell of a 1914 Climax logging train engine, and interact with historical interpreters through programs and special events.
Inside our Discovery Center, you'll find a gift shop bursting with nature-themed books, clothing, toys, and crafts, a spacious theater playing a short film about the site's history, and an interactive exhibit hall.
