Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

DURING 2022 THE MUSEUM HAD OVER 10,920 VISITORS, INCLUDING SENIOR CITIZEN GROUPS, SCHOOL GROUPS, GUIDED TOURS, AND GUESTS ATTENDING OUR HERITAGE SKILLS CLASSES. IMPROVEMENTS TO BUILDINGS, SUCH AS ADDING HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE DECKING AND EXHIBIT SPACE TO THE MOOREHOUSE CABIN, WERE ACCOMPLISHED. A NEW CHILDREN'S VILLAGE WAS STARTED WITH THE ADDITION OF HISTORICALLY ACCURATE LOG STRUCTURES IN 1/4 SCALE TO REPRESENT AN APPALACHIAN LOG CABIN COMPLETE WITH A FIREPLACE, WOODSTOVE, TABLE AND CHAIRS; AND AN APPALACHIAN CHAPEL/SCHOOL HOUSE, WITH A PODIUM, BENCHES, AND A SCHOOL DESK. THESE NEW BUILDINGS WERE BUILT USING HAND HEWN LOGS, BOTH SALVAGED AND NEWLY HEWN. THE CHILDREN'S VILLAGE WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING AN EDUCATIONAL, HANDS-ON PLAY AREA FOR THE CHILDREN WHO VISIT THE MUSEUM WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND SCHOOL GROUPS. IT IS A VERY POPULAR AREA OF THE MUSEUM AND OFFERS CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THEIR IMAGINATION TO RELIVE LIFE IN APPALACHIA.


IN 2022, THE FOXFIRE SUMMER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM HAD 10 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE, RESULTING IN THEIR COMPLETION OF SEVERAL HERITAGE SKILLS CLASSES AND INTERVIEWING CONTACTS FOR PUBLICATION OF ARTICLES IN THE STUDENT PRODUCED FOXFIRE MAGAZINE. STUDENTS COMPLETED TWO NEW ISSUES OF THE FOXFIRE MAGAZINE. SCHOLARSHIPS WERE AWARDED TO 7 POST SECONDARY STUDENTS FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $17,000. WE OFFERED GUIDED EDUCATIONAL TOURS AND FIELD TRIPS TO PUBLIC, PRIVATE, AND HOMESCHOOL STUDENTS IN ADDITION TO OTHER CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THESE TOURS WAS TO EDUCATE OTHERS ON THE PRESERVATION AND VALUE OF APPLACHIAN SKILLS AND TRADITIONS.


FOXFIRE STAFF WORKED ON A NEW BOOK TITLED "THE FOXFIRE BOOK OF APPALACHIAN WOMEN", EDITING AND COMPILING FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS FROM 21 WOMEN ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND EXPERIENCES IN THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES. THE NEW BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2023.
