The Center for Cultural Preservation is a nonprofit institution dedicated to preserving the culture, history, and adaptive strategies of Western North Carolina's cultural legacies. By honoring and transmitting these cultural traditions, we offer today's citizenry a closer connection with their recent past that's more sustainable over the long-term. The Center fulfills this mission through oral history, documentary film, and public programs that rekindle the power of local culture and the value of its continuance.
