WCU is a University of North Carolina Campus
Educational Programs
The Mountain Heritage Center is dedicated to encouraging the exploration and appreciation of the Appalachian region: its land, its people, and its culture. We provide exhibitions and programs that illustrate many of the complex issues and concerns of Appalachia's diverse people and cultures.
The Center works with youth and adult audiences through specially designed gallery, school, and outreach programs, as well as its weekend cultural arts programs for families, Arti-Facts!
Students discover how history relates to their own lives as they explore through our educational programs the many themes relevant to western North Carolina's past, present, and future.
