Swap recipes, share cooking tips, and discover new ways to spice up your meals!

History Club: Celebrating Black History

Friday, February 21st | 3:30-4:30 PM | The Marion Library

We will honor the rich life of Sarah Gudger, a former enslaved woman, from Old Fort who moved to Asheville and lived to be 121.

Sarah’s life offers a unique glimpse into the lives of African Americans before and after slavery.

She is a testament to the resilience of those who survived the country’s harshest treatment and the life she built afterwards.
