"What William Cecil has accomplished at Biltmore Estate is one of
the great preservation success stories of all time. He has set a
high standard for what all historic house museums strive for:
magnificently preserved buildings and grounds, engaging
interpretation, and--perhaps most challenging of all--economic
self-sufficiency. It is no surprise that Biltmore Estate is widely
recognized as one of America's finest places to visit."
--Richard Moe, President of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation
"Biltmore is a glorious national historic landmark that, through
creative vision and entrepreneurial management, preserves and
provides insight into a way of life in the early 1900s. Bill is the
imaginative and multifaceted leader who has built this great
monument to enrich his community. George and I admire his
dedication and success."
--George and Abby Rockefeller O'Neill
"Bill Cecil and his team at Biltmore Estate have sure proved
that they know how to build a successful business. They did it the
old-fashioned way: embrace a bold idea that others said could not
be done and--through commitment, determination, and hard
work--bring it to life. Their achievement against the odds is
inspiring, and their vision and perseverance are valuable lessons
to us all."
--Don Logan, Chairman, Media & Communications Group, Time
Warner
"If George Vanderbilt did nothing more than engage the two most
prominent and storied designers of their time, architect Richard
Morris Hunt and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, to carry
out his vision of a European estate in the southern Appalachians,
he would have created an American icon. The beauty of the method by
which the estatewas executed and, even today, the meticulous
attention to detail, in the presentation and care of the estate by
William Cecil, have brought history to life."
--Gary J. Walters, Chief Usher, The White House
General
