The Village of Yesteryear

What a wonderful day at The Biltmore.
We saw Marlow Gates and his amazing brooms! And he let us take a quick ride on the buggy 😁
October will be here before we know it ❤️
Thank you, Marlow!

Ran into 2 special ladies on Thursday in Charleston! Glad we were able to see them!!

This is next generation gun maker at the NC State Fair in the Village of Yesteryear.

Robert Hill is forging history and carrying on tradition! Learning from his father and grandfather, Robert began designing 18th-century-style ironworks at just 12 years old. His work is now displayed at places such as Brookgreen Gardens. Robert's story is a testament to #CCU's small school vibe with large school opportunities, earning him national recognition, including competing on the History Channel's Mountain Men: Ultimate Marksman and studying with master gunmakers. Robert is ready to continue his family's legacy and share his artistry with the world, and we can't wait to see where it takes him! Congratulations, Robert! #SpadoniSpotlight Spadoni College of Education and Social Sciences
