Campbell Folk School John and Olive Campbell laid the groundwork for one of the oldest folk schools in North America (founded in 1925), searching for a way to feature the handiwork of the mountain people of Appalachian North Carolina. Their 860+ weekend and weeklong class offerings cover 48 subject areas. Food and lodging (twelve houses plus a campground) are available on campus, and community events include square dances, concerts, non-profit events, and auctions.
