Support the Story of Southern Appalachia

The Mountain Heritage Center preserves and shares the rich cultural and natural heritage of Southern Appalachia through exhibitions, educational programs, and community partnerships. From showcasing traditional crafts and music to exploring regional history and contemporary issues, the Center brings mountain stories to life for students, residents, and visitors alike. Your donation helps us expand our reach, care for our collections, and create meaningful experiences that connect people to this unique region. Whether you give financially or volunteer your time, your support plays a vital role in keeping these stories alive.

Donate

Your support helps the Mountain Heritage Center share the culture and history of Southern Appalachia through vibrant programs and meaningful experiences. Donations cover key needs like event spaces, guest speakers, and community gatherings, while also helping us reach K–12 students with hands-on activities and classroom visits. Just as importantly, your gift supports paid internships that give future public historians the chance to learn, grow, and carry these stories forward.

  Or, if you prefer paying by check, please make it payable to the Development Foundation of ÌÇÐÄVlog, designating it for the Mountain Heritage Center. Contributions are tax-deductible as prescribed by law.
