Wolf Laurel Historical Society proudly presents Dr. George Stuart, Senior Archaeologist (Retired), from National Geographic. He is going to give a general introduction to the archaeology of the WNC region and show some artifacts.
George Stuart is the founder of the Boundary End Archaeology Resource Center, which is located near Barnardsville. It is a 501(c)(3) organization which promotes research in Ancient American/Native American Studies.
He was the Senior Archaeologist for National Geographic for more than 38 years and he is known worldwide as the leading authority on the Mayan Civilization and Culture.
At last year’s WLHS September program he talked about Maya Civilization, the Maya Long Count Calendar and the Maya Calendar of Prophecy.
His artifacts are in museums around the country, including the Smithsonian. George and his wife Melinda are our neighbors across the mountains in the Big Ivy Community and he is Vice President of the Big Ivy Historical Society.
Everyone is welcome to attend this program at 4 pm in the WLCC old bar.

Featured guest will be Gera Girard, an artist and writer, who did the illustrations for “Upper Laurel and Her People” by Delia Tipton Brittain.
Gera will share tales from her own book called "Cousins." It has a lot of stories in it that Delia told her about her family. We are having the Upper Laurel book reprinted this summer and hope to have them in time for sale at this meeting. If not, we will gladly take orders.
