The Leicester History Project needs your help!  

The Leicester History Project is a community effort to collect and share local stories from Leicester, Sandy Mush, and French Broad townships so that they will be available for the public online and at Buncombe County Libraries for years to come! 

To ensure the project’s success, we’ll need volunteers to help collect oral histories, scan historical photographs, and work alongside library staff to manage the project.  

If you would like to contribute your time and talents to our effort, please join us for an information session and volunteer interest meeting at the Leicester Branch Library on Saturday March 14 from 3:00 pm -4:30 pm or Saturday March 28 from 2:30-4:00 pm. 

At this meeting we will share more information about the project and volunteer needs.  

If you can’t make it to either of these meetings, no worries! You can still volunteer. For more information contact Buncombe County Special Collections (packnc@buncombenc.gov, 828-250-4740) or Leicester Branch Library Staff (leicesterlibrary@buncombenc.gov, 828-250-6480).
