For more than three decades, Bill devoted his heart to preserving this special place and sharing the rich history, music, stories, and traditions of the Blue Ridge Mountains with generations of visitors. Whether you first met him on a tractor ride, listening to one of his stories, or simply welcoming you with his warm smile, chances are Bill made your visit unforgettable.
We invite everyone whose life was touched by Bill to join us as we celebrate a life lived in service to others and to the Orchard he loved so deeply.
