Asheville’s grand Grove Park Inn is throwing a big 100th birthday bash in 2013 — not that you need a celebration to visit this jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The resort was the brainchild of Edwin W. Grove, who had made millions with Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic. The original 142-room resort lured America’s elite from the day it opened, with a guest register that has included Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Will Rogers, George Gershwin, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and ten U.S. presidents. -- Lynn Seldon, for the AJC
