Abstract:

Olive Dame Campbell and Marguerite Butler partnered to create programs for the school that provided vital life skills. When the school first opened its doors in 1925, farming was at the core of it curriculum. The school struggled in the 1950s and 60s. It was during this time that leaders with the school began to recognize and focus on what made the school enduring: its focus on Appalachian craft.
