Alice Brehm Williamson Elkmont Collection

 Collection
Identifier: MS-3753

This collection documents the last years of the Wonderland Hotel and village at Elkmont, spanning from the 1970s into the early 1990s. It details the ownership arrangement of the land and leases of the buildings as well as the history of the community.

Included are correspondence between various people and The Wonderland Club and Elkmont Preservation Committee. These correspond to the running of the community of Elkmont, but especially the steps taken to attempt to preserve the area from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Records in this collection include minutes and laws of the associations found at Elkmont, forms and information regarding the preservation of sites of historical significance, as well as other miscellany.

Also included are photographs and post cards from the village at Elkmont, as well as newspaper clippings and other publication documenting the area and history of the village, its cottages and hotel.

Nanyehi is a pictorial book that documents a stage production of an influential Cherokee woman from the past in the Great Smoky Mountain Region.
