Editing Biltmore Estate (section)

=== The Vanderbilt Legacy and the Estate’s Role Today ===
After George Vanderbilt’s death in 1914, his widow '''Edith Stuyvesant Vanderbilt''' and their daughter '''Cornelia''' continued to manage the estate. Over time, the family opened the property to the public in 1930 to generate revenue, and it has since become a major tourist destination.

Today, Biltmore is still privately owned by Vanderbilt’s descendants, particularly '''William A.V. Cecil''', George Vanderbilt’s grandson, who played a key role in transforming the estate into a self-sustaining business. The estate is now home to a '''winery''', luxury accommodations at the '''Inn on Biltmore Estate''', and various outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, and biking.

In addition to being a popular tourist attraction, Biltmore serves as a venue for weddings, concerts, and cultural events, preserving its status as a dynamic part of American heritage.
