As a part of the National Park system, it belongs to all the people at the United States. It was the late Moses H. Cone, Oreensboro textile magnate known as the "blue denim king," w|io ac quired the land, built a white-col umned summer home on it, dam med up two mountain streams to form lakes, and planted extensive apple orchards and pastures. That took place around the turn of the century. When Mr. Cone died in 1906, his will specified that his widow would occupy the estate until her death. It was then to become the property of the State of North Carolina. Mrs. Cone dfod in 1047, and a few years later the State oi North Carolina transferred the estate to the Federal Government to be come an attraction of the Blue Ridge PArkway. The Manor House is a sales and display center of the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild ? you can spend hours "just looking" at handmade articles ranging from fine furnishings and fabrics to in tricate jewelry and whimsical carv ings. One of the rooms contains a ?mall crafts museum displaying ? hand-loomed coverlet which help ed start the entire crafts revival in the Southern Apppalochians. It was woven by a mountain woman in 1853. and given to tills Frances Poster Goodrich in 1885 Miss Goodrich, interested in developing the native talents and skills of the mountain people, was sb im pressed with the fabric and work manship that she began the move ment which resulted in the organ ization of the guild and the famous crafts centers now situated in the southern mountains. From the front verandah of the Manor House there is a beautiful vista of Baas Lakp, which in sum mer is dotted with pink and white water lilies. Accessible only by foot or on horseback, the lake is open for public fishing.
