Arrowmont School and
Shop - The school dates back to 1912, when the Pi Beta Phis,
the national's oldest college women's fraternity, opened a
school for isolated mountain children to supplement their
three-month public education. In 1915 it began to revive the
mountain crafts of basketmaking and weaving. The shop became
the outlet for the sale of the crafts, and it remains so
today. Handmade items such as woven placemats and baskets
and even clothes can be found here.
