Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • John C. Campbell Folk School published a series of newsletters from 1926 to 1950. Written like a letter from the school's director, the newsletter is a source of information about the classes and activities at the Folk School and their impact on the surrounding community. This issue reports on accomplishments in several areas: the community house is completed and name the Keith House in honor of the major donor; the school's system of running water has been funded; the success of better agricultural practices is evident through long abused land becoming fertile again because of crop rotations and fertilizers. The continued success of the cooperatives was reported, along with the introduction of a new cooperative, the Mountain Valley Creamery. The Handicraft Association offers the opportunity to "put a man to work where he wants to work" through traditional handicrafts such as hearth brooms, chair making, and woodworking. Special events reported include the annual Old Folks' Dinner on July Fourth, a Fiddlers' Contest, and the celebration for the opening of the Creamery. Includes photographs of Campbell, farmers and the Creamery.
