SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

BOONE, NC

Older than trees, older than dirt These mountains in this part of the Appalachian Plateau began well over a billion years ago–way before there were such things as trees–to 250 million years ago (not older than trees). It is <a href="https://interestingengineering.com/science/earths-oldest-mountains-and-impact-to-planet" rel="noreferrer nofollow">one of the oldest mountain ranges</a> in the world. It looks to me that the Blue Ridge Mountains may have over-compensated in their rush for life.

Southern Appalachian Historical Association (SAHA) is a non-profit organization located in Boone, North Carolina. Founded in 1952, SAHA focuses on preserving and promoting the history and culture of the Southern Appalachian region. The organization achieves this through several initiatives, including the annual outdoor drama production, "Horn in the West," which tells the story of the region's early settlers and their struggles during the American Revolution.

SAHA also operates the Hickory Ridge Living History Museum, a re-creation of an 18th-century mountain community, where visitors can experience daily life as it was in the past. The museum features a blacksmith shop, woodworking area, and farm animals, among other exhibits.

In addition to these attractions, SAHA hosts a variety of educational programs and events throughout the year, including workshops, lectures, and festivals that celebrate the region's heritage. The organization also offers research services to those interested in learning more about their Appalachian roots.
