Week II- Biltmore Estates in NC
Friday, July 6- July 7, 2012
The last destination of the weekend trip was Biltmore Estates. Biltmore is located in Asheville, North Carolina and it was built in last 1890s. George Vanderbilt was the initial owner of this gigantic house. It is recorded as the biggest private house in the United States. University of Incheon students were amazed by the size of the house and the garden. It was a hot day, but students really enjoyed looking around the inside of the house and taking pictures. The visitation to the Biltmore Estates is meaningful in that they studied Early American history which is the theme of the week.

Week II- Cherokee Indian Village Tour in NC
Friday, July 6- July 7, 2012
For the second weekend trip, we went to visit Oconaluftee Cherokee Indian Village located in Cherokee, North Carolina. The students studied Early American History taught by Dr. Alice Taylor-Colbert. It was a hands-on experience which students can apply what they learned to the actual life of Cherokee Indian people. We watched how they make traditional baskets, weapons, ornaments, and weaved clothes. Also, we watched the show called "Unto these Hills." The story of the show is about Native Cherokee people's sad history in which they had to leave their own lands forced by the early settlers.
Please take a close look at our 24 smiley faces' experience in the Indian Village below and enjoy!
