The Zebulon B. Vance Birthplace, also known as the Vance Birthplace is a historic home in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and a historic site managed by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources's Historic Sites division. The property, purchased in 1795 by Col. David and Priscilla Vance, was the birthplace of their grandson Governor Zebulon Baird Vance in 1830. The site was also home to Dr. Robert Vance, Zebulon's uncle and one of the county's first physicians, and Robert B. Vance, Zebulon's brother and a politician and brigadier-general. ^[1]

The two-story cabin has been reconstructed around the original 1790s brick fireplace. The house, five outbuildings, and relocated 1790s slave cabin tell the story of life in the North Carolina mountains in the early 1800s. A visitor center houses exhibits and a film highlighting the life of Governor Vance.^[1]
