Abstract:

Located in the Southern Appalachians, in Macon County, the Highlands Biological Station, parented by the Highlands Museum of Natural History, served to supplement the western part of the state as a facility for educational institutions. First used in 1931, the biological station expanded in 1958 with funds obtained from the National Science Foundation.
