Hiking
Cone, known as the Denim King, made a fortune with his business in the early 20th century, acquired this property and converted the grounds to a park. He walked the short figure 8 trail between ancient trees on a daily basis together with his wife.

We did the tour of the house; it's free and it was great.
Here you can learn more about the family.

Road cycling
The Moses Cone Manor and Estate can be found within Moses H. Cone Memorial Park near Milepost 294 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can't bike on the trails or carriage roads on the property, but it's still worth stopping at and checking out. You get great views of the mountains surrounding Blowing Rock, and there's plenty of history to explore in and around the structures.
