In 1904, a 42-year-old librarian named Horace Kephart came to western North Carolina looking for a fresh start in the southern Appalachian wilderness. Over the next twenty-seven years, his numerous articles and books captured a disappearing culture, provided practical advice for generations of outdoor enthusiasts, and spearheaded the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Mountain Heritage Center’s Kephart Collection is composed of 127 objects, including Kephart’s tent, sleeping bag, backpack and the writing desk. The exhibit will display many of these objects in a campsite setting.

“Horace Kephart:  Revealing an Enigma... Horace Kephart in the Great Smoky Mountains” will be on view in the Mountain Heritage Center’s Hunter Library exhibit gallery (HL 161) through March 31,2017. For more information, contact the Mountain Heritage Center at 828-227-7129.

Soft Diplomacy

January 9- March 24, 2017

Soft Diplomacy, curated by Stephanie Beck Cohen, explores quilts made in Liberia, West Africa, and gifted across the Atlantic Ocean as part of cultural diplomacy with the United States. An artistic tradition carried to Liberia with American settlers in the nineteenth century, in the following centuries quilts serve as both an anchor to their American heritage and a medium through which Liberian women visualize their daily lives and their nation’s histories and present.  The exhibit demonstrates the strength, endurance, and changing nature of textiles and the relationships between the women who make them, their patrons, and collaborators. The exhibition brings together Liberian quilts used in political exchange, depicting political and national themes for the first time, highlighting the works of Liberian women from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries who shaped representations of their nation and visualized cultural memory and trauma before, during and after Liberia’s civil war.

This exhibit, curated by recent WCU graduate William McDaris, tells the story of an early nineteenth century border conflict that reshaped the boundary line between north Georgia and far western North Carolina.
