Foxfire: A current student perspective

Foxfire students will be sharing their stories at the Macon County Public Library with the guidance of Foxfire's leadership program coordinator, John Singleton. 
In 1966 students at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Northeast Georgia created a magazine featuring stories gathered from their families and neighbors about the pioneer era of southern Appalachia as well as traditions still thriving in the region.
The students called it 'Foxfire' after the glow-in-the-dark fungus found in the local hills. This spark of an idea turned into a phenomenon of education and living history, exploring how our past contributes to who we are and what we can become – how the past illuminates our present and inspires imagination.
