Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions. Today, Foxfire's mission remains the same, and "The Foxfire Book of Simple Living" is both a rich reflection on five decades of collected wisdom as well as an intriguing look forward to the artists and craftspeople who are working to preserve Appalachian traditions for future generations. We hear from doll and soap makers who continue to use and adapt the time-tested methods outlined in "The Foxfire Book," not to mention hunters, blacksmiths, musicians, and carpenters whose respect for those who preceded them enhances their own art. We see how the mountain community has responded to the films, books, and plays that have tried (and sometimes failed) to represent them. And, above all, by listening to the voices of those who came before, we celebrate the people who have preserved the stories, crafts, and customs that define life in the Appalachian mountain region.
