This photograph is included in a scrapbook that chronicles Frances Goodrich’s early years in Madison County, North Carolina. Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) was among the first to promote a revival of weaving in the North Carolina mountains, founding Allanstand Cottage Industries and later donating its assets to the newly formed Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. This 1898 photograph by an unknown photographer shows a log footbridge above Allanstand in Madison County. The woman crossing the bridge is Allanstand store manager, Laura E. Merchant.
