Cradle of Forestry in America, Pisgah National Forest
NC Highway 276 four miles south of Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 412 and 14 miles north of Brevard, NC
Legend has it that on Halloween night in 1906 a student from the Biltmore Forest School disappeared. His name was Tommy Hodges. This outdoor drama about the first forestry school in America occurs along the paved Biltmore Campus Trail. It includes characters and stories based on the diaries of students who attended the Biltmore Forest School from 1903 to 1907. The show is one mile long, meaning the audience walks one mile to see the entire play. Audience members are asked to dress warm, wear walking shoes, and bring a flashlight. The play is geared toward ages 6 and above.
