“The class started the project by taking a tour of campus with George Frizzell from Special Collections,” said Jessie Swigger, who taught the class. “As a class, we selected what we thought were the most important historic sites on campus.”
The trail’s landmarks include: Highway 106, the first paved road in Cullowhee; Mount Zion AME Zion Church, a Methodist church established by 11 former slaves where Robertson Hall now stands; Moore Building, the oldest building still standing on campus; Madison Memorial, which honors WCU’s founder on the site of the original Cullowhee Academy; and many more.
