Biltmore has been closed since Helene brought heavy rains and flooding to the region and caused damage to part of the estate grounds.

In the wake of the storm, Biltmore staff have been working to repair damage caused to the estate by floodwaters, and Biltmore launched a $2 millino relief fund for people in western North Carolina.
