Home, Hearth and History: Stories of Old Saluda

Eljapa Media Group worked with the Historic Saluda Commitee to record over 14 hours of oral history video interviews, copied hundreds of old photographs from private collections and received more than a dozen original cassette tapes of interviews conducted by Charlene Pace and Anne Osborne for their 1981 book Saluda, N.C. 100 Years 1881-1981. The City of Saluda provided seed money to launch this project and generous donors helped fund the remaining cost of this grassroots project. The Historic Saluda Committee, founded in May 2010 by interested citizens, operates under the jurisdiction of the City of Saluda. A film premiere was held July 2, 2011 at 5 p.m. at the Saluda Mountain Jamboree. The premiere was held prior to the Saluda 130th Birthday Celebration square dance that was held that same night at 7 p.m. Staring: Dr. George Jones Charlene Pace Henry Twiggs Ruth Pace Lawter Betty Jo Pace Thompson John Rhodes Bill Russell Maxine Wilkerson Martha Coates Ashley Martha Stoney Anderson Film Production and Producers: Eljapa Media Group Narration by Kim Clark Executive Producer, Cindy Stephenson Tuttle, Historic Saluda Committee
