The organization pursues its mission through stewardship, advocacy, and education, and its well-known annual Cashiers Designer Showhouse supports its preservation and cultural heritage work. The campus is open year-round from dawn to dusk and is situated in Cashiers, North Carolina, at an elevation of about 3,484 feet.
