DISCOVER A TOWNLIKE NO OTHER.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.
