Berea College

Berea, Kentucky


Few consider the story behind a product for sale. But few could ignore the story behind Berea College Crafts. Berea College charges no tuition, and the sale of the student-made crafts featured here provides scholarships for Berea students. But long before a product is sold, the student craftsman delves into Appalachian artistic heritage, learns about materials and design, experiences the joy of creativity, and identifies the dignity of work well done.

For a lovely time,the raccoon news recommends a visit to Berea. You can stay in the famed Boone Tavern Hotel. You can suport the college by buying craft items made by the students.
