The Wolf Laurel Historical
Society was founded in 1994 by residents of
the Wolf Laurel Community interested in
history as a reading and study area. Members
meet once a year to conduct the Society's business and three times a year for public programs
featuring the history of the Wolf Laurel
Community, the Upper Laurel and Bucktown
Communities, Madison and Yancey Counties,
the Southern Appalachian mountain region of Tennessee
and North Carolina, and other
subjects of general interest.
We welcome you to our public events and urge
you to join the society as we enjoy together
the rich history of our beautiful mountains.
2024 Program Schedule is out
The program schedule for summer
2024 is now ready. We have some wonderful programs to celebrate

menu to the left for updates. All our programs are free to the public. 2024 Memberships are now available and we

If you are new to Wolf Laurel
or just need some reading for the long winter nights, the
Historical Society offers these histories of our community.
