Free Guided Tours of the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum

Join Yadkin Riverkeeper Brian Fannon and other public history experts for guided tours of the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum, a site with six historic, furnished cabins that recreate the atmosphere of 18th and 19th century mountain communities. Learn what rural life was like for pioneers in the High Country.

This program is the fifth one in High Country Humanities’ ongoing series “Connecting Local and Global Rural Cultures.” This series of talks, workshops, demonstrations and film screenings is supported by a grant from North Carolina Humanities. Each event is designed for general audiences and will help the campus and broader public learn about the stories, histories and traditions of rural communities from our state and around the world.

Tours are FREE and open to the public. Capacity is limited to 75 patrons, who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis.
