Vance Birthplace, a pioneer farmstead that is the birthplace of North Carolina’s three-time Civil War governor, is tucked in the Reems Creek Valley and is surrounded on all sides by the ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Your ceremony is held in front of a pasture of waving grain that precedes a towering hill that overlooks the entire property. Black walnut trees dot the homestead that has cabins and other structures from the mid-1800s. It provides a truly unique atmosphere of the days when this area was just being settled: romantic, rustic, and distinctively Appalachian.
