Preserving the legacy of the Southern Appalachian pioneer families who settled this region and experiencing how they lived.
Our Mission is to share the lifeways of Southern Appalachian pioneer families through experiential education and community programming that inspires visitors to bring the resiliency and creative spirit of the pioneers into their own lives.
We offer four main types of specialized programming:
-
Field trips for local schools and homeschool groups, as well as other community groups
-
Hands-on workshops in traditional skills
-
Community conversations and guest lectures
-
Special seasonal events, such as our Fall Festival
