About

With the Zachary-Tolbert House Museum as its inspiration and supported by over 800 members, volunteers, board, staff, and visitors, the Cashiers Historical Society is dedicated to the preservation and protection of the historical and cultural character of the community.

This goal is accomplished through instruction, membership programs, and a variety of public initiatives & events. Examples include House Tours, Academic Symposiums, History Rambles, Musical Performances, Founders Day Celebrations, and our annual Cashiers Designer Showhouse. In addition, every year the Society presents a Village Heritage Award to an individual or business that has preserved a historic site vital to the village character of Cashiers. In 2011, the emphasis is on both education and preservation. Highlights feature Heritage Workshops & Demonstrations, a pro-active community Preservation Initiative, Oral Histories & Family Genealogy, and a variety of museum collection & historical artifact projects.

Drop in, bring a lunch and perhaps stay for the day. Lush, native flora shades our four-acre Interpretive Nature Trail. Picnic tables and benches have been erected in secluded coves. Refreshing Cashiers sunshine floods the rambling Zachary Meadow. Come join us as we honor and learn about our past so we are better prepared to face our future.
