Meet Howell Hammond

Beverly and Howell Hammond were first attracted by the mountains, the beautiful countryside and the mild summer climate in Yancey County. As each year has passed, they became more and more appreciative of the people, the history and the culture of arts and farming and interested in helping those in need and preserving the unique culture and the natural resources of the area. Howell generously included The Yancey Fund as a beneficiary of his IRA.
