Lake Eden Events grounds and buildings were formerly part of the historic Black Mountain College in the 1940's and 1950's, Lake Eden Inn & Resort in the early 1900's, and Camp Rockmont (which is still adjacent to our location). The Lake Eden Arts Festival also utilizes this amazing property for camping, healing arts, production, poetry tent and events during the festival.

A little info into BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE:

The site of the historic Black Mountain College in the 1940's-50's. Many of the century's most celebrated artists and thinkers attended the college as teachers or students: Albert Einstein, Rauschenberg, Annie Albers, Merce Cunningham, Rothko and Buckminster Fuller (who designed the first geodesic dome here). Prior to BMC, in the early 1900s, E.W. Grove (of the Grove Park Inn and Grove Arcade) developed the land and constructed some wonderful buildings with his trademark native stone fireplaces. Preceeding Grove, The Lake Eden Inn and Resort offered a getaway for people seeking its healing waters and refreshing air. The Lake Eden Events property was used as the BMC farm, administration buildings, housing, and towards the end all of the BMC operations.
