On Christmas Eve 1895, George
W.Vanderbilt officially opened Biltmore House.
Three years later, he brought his
bride Edith Stuyvesant Dresser to Biltmore,
and in 1900, their only child
Cornelia was born here.
1895年圣诞节前夜范德比尔特先生迎来了他的第一批宾朋好友，
3年后他在这里迎娶了新娘伊迪丝，1900年他们的独生女在此诞生。
After Vanderbilt's death in 1914,
Edith and Cornelia continued to call Biltmore
home, with Edith assuming
management of the estate. In 1924, Cornelia married
the Honorable John Francis Amherst
Cecil, and they lived and entertained in
Biltmore House. In response to the
requests to increase area tourism during the
Depression and to bring in money
to preserv the estate, the Cecils opened
the
house to the public in 1930.
1914年范德比尔特先生病逝后，夫人伊迪丝接手管理庄园的资产并与女儿留住在庄园内。
在经济大萧条时期，为了加快地区旅游业的发展，塞西尔家族于1930年将庄园向公众开放。
Today, Biltmore remains a family
business. Vanderbilt's grandson, William A.V.
Cecil, owns Biltmore ; his son
William A.V.Cecil, Jr.,serves as CEO, while his
daughter Diana Cecil Pickering is
president of the Family Office. Along with
1800 employees, they continue to
preserve this national treasure.
如今，庄园已经成为家族产业，范德比尔特先生的外甥为庄园继承人，
重外甥是家族产业的首席执行官，重外甥女是家族产业集团办公室的董事长，
拥有1800多名雇员，继续维护和保护着这份民族的财富。
