Wood’s program will cover immigration of people from Scotland and Ireland who migrated to many parts of the Southeastern U.S. states, with the primary focus on Western North Carolina, and in particular, Haywood County.

The meetings are open to the public.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
