You can combine a two-day camping "discovery" of the Eco-Village (and its Show-Hows) with a tour, by chartered bus, to any one of the vacation destinations in our incredibly lovely mountain region.

Visit MOTHER’s Eco-Village in summer 1983 and take a vacation in the Smokey Mountains.

In 1983, from June through September, we’ll once again open MOTHER’s Eco-Village for your enjoyment and education. This lovely piece of mountain property offers–in addition to mini-seminars on energy, food, transportation, and housing–shady, level campsites . . . which are ideal places to pitch a tent or park a camper. And though we don’t provide hookups, we’ve been told by local inspectors that our shower facilities (with their plentiful supplies of hot water) are “the best in the county”. You’ll also find other amenities and, of course, enough do-it-yourself information to get your whole family jumping with enthusiasm when you take a vacation in the Smokey Mountains.

NEW FOR NEXT YEAR’S ECO-VILLAGE

For instance, by the summer of 1983–besides providing wading pools for the youngsters–we’ll offer a “Children’s Energy Park”, whose pedal-powered machines will demonstrate alternative-energy techniques. Bring along your fishing pole, too, because–for the first time–one of our lakes will be open to anglers. You’ll also find an array of lovely local handiwork at our Log Cabin Craft Shop, and you can watch woodworkers demonstrate their skills with waterwheel-powered tools.

Leisure hours can also be spent browsing at MOTHER’s Bookshelf ®, which is always loaded with bargain how-to volumes, while our Exhibit Hall contains displays of many of the do-more-with-less projects you’ve read about in the pages of this magazine.
