Appalachian Stage
Since 1902, when the first city auditorium was built here, this area has been a center for entertainment and the preservation of Southern Appalachian culture. Acclaim has gone to composer Boscom Lamar Lunsford and playwright Hubert Hayes for celebrating mountain music and dance and to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild for promoting traditional crafts.
