Dear Friends,

I am excited about this year’s Themed Exhibit Program, “Find Your Way Home, Again!” A Genealogy of the Diversity and Heritage of the Mountain People.

This theme offers a wide variety of topics for museums and historic sites to cultivate and expand upon. We know each site will have their own unique stories, photos and local personalities (past and present) to share! We want this year’s theme to be entertaining, educational and engaging. We all have a special connection to the theme, let’s share it, let’s play it, let’s sing it, let’s celebrate it, let’s tell it, and most importantly let’s honor our mountain traditions and make some new ones as we go!

For your convenience we have provided our recently published Museum Guide featuring museums and historic sites in our western region, including a detailed map, driving directions, hours of operation, telephone numbers and email addresses. Museum Guides are available at NC Welcome Centers, Area Chamber of Commerce offices, Host organizations and at all 63 museums listed in the guide. You may print the Museum Guide from this site. Also check out the Mountain History Happens Here Calendar of Events.

Have fun and enjoy your time in Western North Carolina!
