Many who roam the grounds of The Greystone Inn will take in the inescapable energy of the ancient, majestic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The admiration for history flows from the cool, lapping shores that surround the property to the interior halls of the Mansion, where the original owners once lived.
Miss Lucy Armstrong Moltz traveled the world two-times over and determined that this area was the place she most desired to call home. As guests settle into their stay here, they’ll quickly notice the historical artifacts of her life and legacy that don the walls. From old photographs to relics from her days spent traveling the globe to cherished possessions that once belonged to her family, one is reminded of the powerful stories that these items hold.
This particular wood carving (pictured, left) is located in the Mansion Bar. It stands as a testament to Miss Lucy’s admiration for education, and her desire to share this gift with young minds of the surrounding community. It was no secret that Miss Lucy was active with her charitable givings–she was known to be a genteel and pragmatic philanthropist. Miss Lucy gave away countless college scholarships throughout her lifetime, and this hand holding a diploma symbolizes her commitment to the power of higher learning.
