For 60 years, Foxfire has been telling the story of Southern Appalachia—preserving the voices, skills, traditions, and everyday experiences of the people who shaped this region.

If you’ve visited the Foxfire Village Museum, attended Heritage Days, watched one of our demonstrations, taken a Foxfire class, followed us on social media, or simply appreciate the role Foxfire plays in preserving Appalachian culture, you already have a connection to our story.

This year, we’re inviting you to take the next step: become a Foxfire supporter.

Our 60th anniversary has been a remarkable year. Heritage Days drew record attendance, and Foxfire has taken its programs on the road, participating in events throughout several neighboring Northeast Georgia counties.

We also received exciting news this summer: the Georgia Historical Society has selected Foxfire for a historical marker. It is a wonderful recognition of the importance of Foxfire’s work over the past six decades.

And we’re not finished celebrating. Our 250th Celebration Flag—a 6-by-4-foot, hand-stitched and hand-dyed flag featuring 13 stars—will fly over the Georgia State Capitol to celebrate our anniversary and the nation’s birthday.

Behind every one of these accomplishments is a community of people who believe that our region’s stories and traditions are worth preserving.

Would you consider making your first gift to Foxfire this year?

You don’t have to make a large gift to make a difference – whatever amount is meaningful to you helps support the programs, preservation work, demonstrations, and educational experiences that bring Appalachian culture to life.

Your first gift is more than a donation. It’s a way to say that the Foxfire story matters—and that you want to help ensure it continues. The fact is, we need your support.

After 60 years, Foxfire is still growing, still reaching new audiences, and still finding new ways to share the remarkable story of Appalachia.

We hope you’ll become part of that story.

With heartfelt thanks,
Your Foxfire Family
