Historical Information
The Association for the Preservation of the Eno River Valley (commonly known as the Eno River Association) is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to conserve and protect the natural, cultural, and historic resources of North Carolina's Eno River basin. The organization was founded in 1965 as the Eno Historical Society and changed to its current name the following year; since its inception, the Association has worked to protect the environmental resources around the river and its tributaries, resulting in over 3,700 acres of protected lands, primarily in public parks. The Association promotes environmental education and advocacy in the region through a number of environmental and community programs, including a hike series and the annual Festival for the Eno. The Festival for the Eno, a three-day summer event founded in 1980, offers a variety of music, food, and crafts, and proceeds from the Festival support the ongoing conservation of the lands along the Eno.
