Educational Programs

The Mountain Heritage Center is dedicated to encouraging the exploration and appreciation of the Appalachian region: its land, its people, and its culture. We provide exhibitions and programs that illustrate many of the complex issues and concerns of Appalachia's diverse people and cultures.

The Center works with youth and adult audiences through specially designed gallery, school, and outreach programs.

Students discover how history relates to their own lives as they explore through our educational programs the many themes relevant to western North Carolina's past, present, and future.

  • Special Exhibit from the Smithsonian: Journey Stories (9/29-11/9/12) with special in-house programs for schools and bus money for public schools visiting from Jackson, Haywood, Macon, and Swain.
