Preserving Our Mountain Heritage: A Conversation with Bill Crawford
The Swain County Genealogical and Historical Society is pleased to share a wonderful interview featuring our good friend Bill Crawford, presented by our neighbors at the Jackson County Genealogical Society and Jackson County North Carolina Local Government.
Bill has spent decades preserving and sharing the stories, traditions, and history of the people of Western North Carolina. His passion for local heritage shines throughout this engaging conversation, reminding us why genealogy and historical preservation are so important to future generations.
One of Bill's most memorable observations captures the very heart of our mission:
"If you don't know where you come from, you don't know where you're going."
— Bill Crawford
We encourage our members, friends, and fellow history enthusiasts to watch this fascinating interview and support the excellent work being done by the Jackson County Genealogical Society.
