Since 1967, Foxfire has been a storehouse of traditional Appalachian knowledge that still helps people today.

It continues to preserve music and history, but part of Foxfire’s heritage has been recording the stories of Appalachian women.

This week, Inside Appalachia explores Foxfire — its past, present and future.

In This Episode:

What Is Foxfire?

Foxfire began in 1967 as a student-run magazine in North Georgia. It was a way for high school students to collect and share the wisdom and lore from their community members. They named it “Foxfire” after a fungus in the region that glows in the dark.

Over 50 years, it’s grown into a book series, a magazine, a museum and an oral history archive. One of those oral histories is from 1975 and captures the kind of knowledge that Foxfire collected.

An Appalachian Woman’s Place Often Went Beyond The Home

A lot of the women in older archival Foxfire interviews said that they “didn’t work” but so many Appalachian women were midwives, mothers and business owners.

Foxfire’s latest collection features 21 women in the book called, The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women, edited by then Foxfire education director and museum curator Kami Ahrens. Mason Adams has more.

Oral History Tradition Continues Today

In 2020, Blue Ridge Public Radio partnered with Ahrens to record oral histories and aired them on the radio. BPR’s Lilly Knoepp shared a few.
