Mavis Manor has stood on Flat Top Mountain since 1897.

Over the past 129 years, this house has been a family home, a gathering place, a bed-and-breakfast, and a witness to generations of Appalachian life.

Today, it is the home of The Mavis Institute.

We are preserving the history and lore of the Manor while bringing the property into a new chapter as a living classroom. Here, the house, gardens, forests, animals, barns, streams, and farmland become part of a larger effort to teach permaculture, practical life skills, Appalachian knowledge, community resilience, and the responsible use of modern technology.

This is not simply an old house we are trying to save.

It is a place where memory, land, learning, and new possibilities come together.
