The Banks family began to settle the Appalachian region of north Carolina since people started immigrating into the mountains, and has lived here ever since. They have been here for so long, they played a large part in founding Buncombe County itself. They grew up living off the land, farming and learning how to use the resources in this area. Taking a particular interest in history and my folksy heritage, I selected this project in hopes of learning how to use the land around me, and create things that can help me thrive just by using the earth like my ancestors before me did generations ago.
