Blandwood, a National Historic Landmark, was originally built in 1795 and later became the home of North Carolina Governor John Motley Morehead. In 1844, architect A.J. Davis worked his magic and added an extension, turning what was once a simple farmhouse into an Italianate masterpiece. Today, visitors can explore this architectural gem and admire the original design and family furnishings.
The mansion offers a glimpse into history, where you can almost feel the echoes of the past in its grand halls. The lush gardens surrounding the property are perfect for a leisurely stroll, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. Plus, the knowledgeable guides are always eager to share intriguing stories about the mansion's storied past, making it a fascinating experience for history buffs and casual visitors alike.
