DescNew Museum and Permanent Exhibition In fiscal year 2023-2024, the Western North Carolina Historical Association transformed the historic Smith-McDowell House, built circa 1840, into the Asheville Museum of History. This was a major endeavor that followed a multi-year restoration of the house that was completed in 2022. The first floor of the house was transformed into an exhibition space dedicated to representing the history of all 23 counties of Western North Carolina. The new iteration of the museum includes a permanent exhibition featuring a timeline of regional history starting with prehistoric and geological history, the history of pre-colonial indigenous peoples, exploration and colonial settlers, pre-Civil War settlements, railroad and urban expansion, Appalachian communities, the impacts of World Wars I and II on the region, urban redevelopment, tourism, industry, and many other historical topics running through the contemporary period and ending in 2023. The permanent exhibit is also comprised of two galleries exploring geological, environmental, and cultural histories of the region. The exhibit contains multiple artifact displays, wall text panels, and graphics illustrating these histories and topics. The grand opening of the Asheville Museum of History occurred in October 2023 with a successful opening reception and other events including educational programming. A temporary traveling exhibition on the tile work of Western North Carolina resident Rafael Guastavino, who was responsible for the tile work in the Biltmore Estate, along with many other important buildings nationwide, accompanied the permanent exhibition in the adjacent galleries and also opened along with the grand opening in October. There was also a major rebranding effort with new logos, a new website, press, and a new style guide to transform what was previously referred to as the Smith-McDowell House into the Asheville Museum of History. The new permanent exhibition was supported by a grant from North Carolina Humanities, along with private donations.Desc

DescThomas Wolfe Literary Award and Outstanding Achievement Award The Asheville Museum of History hosts two major awards programs, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award and the Outstanding Achievement Award. Named for the famed Asheville-born novelist, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial Literary Award has been presented annually by the Western North Carolina Historical Association since 1955 to honor outstanding literature by regional authors or works that take place in Western North Carolina. The museum also presents an annual Outstanding Achievement Award to organizations or individuals who have undertaken special and exceptional efforts in preserving or promoting local and regional history in the Western North Carolina community. In fiscal year 2023-2024, the Thomas Wolf Literary Award ceremony was hosted on April 25, 2023 and honored winning author David Joy for his novel Those We Thought We Knew, along with four other finalists.
