“Beginning with Oliver Moss in 1874, the Johnson Farm has a long history in Henderson County. The original farm house was built between 1876 and 1880 but our period of significance begins in 1913 with Mrs. Sallie Johnson. Mrs. Sallie Johnson ran the farm as a summer boarding business from 1913-1958, along with her two sons Leander and Vernon. The brothers closed the boarding business when their mother died but they remained active in Henderson County for the rest of their lives. They had a vision that one day their farm would become an educational resource for the school children of Henderson County, teaching them about the farming life that is so integral to the history of this Appalachian region. Today we honor their legacy by acting as a cultural heritage center owned and operated by Henderson County Public Schools. We offer historic home and grounds tours, field trips and heritage festivals throughout the year. We are also home to the Heritage Weavers and Fiber Artists in the old boarding house. Visit our website for more details or stop by for a tour today!”

Flow Arts for Kids (Ages 7+)
We are overjoyed to bring flow arts for kids too Veda Studios because the physical, mental, and social implications of participating through choice are potent reminders of lessons on how to operate as an engaged agent in their lives.
In this 8 week course, your child will have the opportunity to practice and learn about object manipulation and community generation. We’ll play with hoops, poi, staff, and levi-wands; available for two weeks at a time, giving everyone a chance to try each prop on for size. We hope to encourage engagement, empowerment, and connection through flow arts/object manipulation.
This is a drop-in class so everyone can join at any time, though it is encouraged to commit to the entire course (as it is a community generation experience & the curricula builds off itself).
These spaces operate on a sliding scale from $10-$20, with discounts for preregistration, AND drop-in discount punch cards!
We are thrilled to see the kids starting that flow young, exceptionally developed younger children may be capable of participation,but these are skill based workshops meant for children 7 years and above. If you’d like to see if your child can participate, please feel free to contact GoFlow.
