Avery County residents have hunted and raised livestock since settlement. A new exhibit traces that history, how families survived on the land, what religious and cultural beliefs shaped their relationship to animals, what the work actually required. The biblical language of dominion, 'subdue the earth,' ran through how people thought about subsistence. Fewer people hunt and farm now. Go see what that practice looked like when it was how most everyone ate.
