Welcome to Berea, home to a thriving population of 

potters, weavers, instrument makers, furniture artisans, 

jewelry designers, glass workers, painters, sculptors, 

and musicians. The story of Berea’s artisan community is 

interwoven with the dynamic history of Berea College, 

home to a student crafts program that preserves traditional 

Appalachian arts. The college was founded in 1855 as 

the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, 

and the town grew up around it. Berea has a longstanding 

tradition of diversity, social justice, environmental 

responsibility, and community service. Both college and 

town are committed to the practice of sustainability. 

Several of the students choose to live “off-the-grid” in the 

school’s Eco-Village, community artists have “adopted” rain 

barrels to raise conservation awareness, and the town itself 

has committed to a strategic plan to promote sustainable 

eco-tourism.
