Grovewood Village sits on an 11-acre site in Asheville, North Carolina, where a historic complex once used by Biltmore Industries remains and now hosts a collection of cultural attractions. The facility comprises Grovewood Gallery, working artist studios, the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum, and the Estes-Winn Antique Car Museum, along with a sister shop across the street inside The Omni Grove Park Inn that features exclusively handmade items crafted by local and regional artisans. Positioned within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, Grovewood Village preserves and presents regional craft and history, offering visitors access to art, historic exhibits, and antique vehicles in a cohesive cultural experience. The organization traces its roots to the legacy of Biltmore Industries, with Edith Vanderbilt noted as a co-founder of the broader craft movement associated with the site, and is located in Asheville in the western region of North Carolina. The operation is supported by a small team and maintains an active role in hosting contemporary exhibitions, such as the annual Vessels of Merriment and Enchanted Garden Art Show, which highlight handmade objects and crafts from regional and national artists.
