"May we always remember and cherish those who came before us...And may we perpetuate the good of this area by preserving it and sharing it with future generations." Well-said!

A family’s four‑generation bond to these mountains began with one remarkable grandmother whose courage and love led them here.

Join us July 12 for a special Sunday Night Stories about the surprising story of George Masa, a Japanese man who greatly influenced WNC conservation. Tickets available at our website: https://historictoxaway.org

As we continue looking at North Carolinians for Asian American and Pacific Islander month, we take a look at George Masa. Masa moved to the United States around 1906. After the death of his father, Masa traveled across the United States from the West cost before settling in Asheville. During this time, photography became more than a passionate hobby. His photographs and passion for hiking helped shape the views of the Great Smoky Mountains. You can learn more in the comment section.
