Cashiers Historical Society has unveiled our newest exhibit, “‘Let No One Be a Stranger Here’: High Hampton Inn and the Making of Modern Cashiers” in the historic Hampton Schoolhouse.
In February of this year, CHS acquired the High Hampton History Collection, previously housed in the High Hampton History Center.
In 2017, the McKee family assembled a curatorial team to catalogue the historic holdings of High Hampton and to create an archival collection. Until earlier this year, that collection formed the basis of the exhibit at the High Hampton History Center. To ensure that the entire Cashiers community could access this history, High Hampton donated the thousand-piece collection to the Cashiers Historical Society.
The new exhibit focuses on the role of High Hampton in developing Cashiers into the destination it is today. It examines the people who worked, visited, and lived at High Hampton from the 19th century into the 21st century. Come see artifacts from High Hampton over the years and learn how High Hampton Inn shaped Cashiers in the 20th century.
The exhibit is free and open to the public, Monday through Saturday, from 9:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M.
