John C. Campbell Folk School

This is a 1942 invitation to an annual exhibit and sale of crafts from the John C. Campbell Folk School. The invitation describes the importance of the handicraft work of the John C. Campbell Folk School for supplementing farm income, especially in war time. This event was organized by Louise Pitman, head of the Handicraft Department of the Folk School. Pitman, a New Jersey native and a Columbia University graduate, used her connections outside of the Appalachian region to market Folk School crafts nationwide. The sale was held in the home of a woman in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who was possibly a friend of Olive Dame Campbell, a native of Medford, Massachusetts.
