About

For nearly 60 years, Foxfire has preserved and celebrated the spirit of Appalachian life. What began as a simple student project in 1966 grew into a nationally recognized movement to document and share the traditions, skills, and stories of Southern Appalachia. We invite you to explore our history, browse Foxfire publications, and meet the demonstrators who help keep Appalachian folklife alive.
