Join us during the Mary Draper Ingles Festival, July 26-28!

At Glencoe Mansion that weekend we will be joined by authors and musicians who will share their works with us from the same era as the Mary Draper Ingles story.

We will have author talks by Sharyn McCrumb and Kathleen Grissom, who both have novels set during this time in history. They will talk about their books and research, and sign books afterward.

We will also have music by Kim & Jimbo Cary. They will present music from Appalachian history and beyond. The performance is being sponsored in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
