Bibliography/ Historical Information

DuPont Forest is a 12,500 acre state forest located in Henderson and Transylvania counties in North Carolina. The main attractions in DuPont are waterfalls, lakes, mountains, and more than one hundred miles of trails, along with historical artifacts which were built before the land became a state forest. The original deed for the land goes back to John Thomas Jr. in 1799. Prior to the 1799 land deed, the Cherokee Nation lived and passed through the area and left several petroglyphs. In the early 1850’s, Micajah, one of John Thomas Jr.’s sons, built Buck Forest Hotel and after the Civil War he sold the hotel to Joseph Carson. Carson’s brother in law, Colonel Franklin Coxe, paid for the hotel and retained the title. By the early 1900s the hotel was falling apart and no longer on the main route to the mountains.   Frank Coxe, Colonel Franklin Coxe’s grandson, inherited the 5,000 acres of Buck Forest Land. In 1941 he organized the Buck Forest Club. The club had a 10 year lease covering all the recreational facilities within the 5,000 acres and required the construction of a new clubhouse- Buck Forest Lodge. Nearby, Alex Guion purchased a 5,411 acre farm in Henderson county in 1951. In 1956 DuPont Corporation bought 5,359 acres from Frank Coxe along with surrounding smaller parcels from various owners in Transylvania County, and 5,411 acres from Alex Guion in Henderson County. DuPont Corporation built a large silicon manufacturing plant on the property, and later the plant produced x-ray film. By 1995 DuPont Corporation showed interest in selling their land. The Conservation Fund assisted the state in acquiring the land by purchasing more than 8,000 acres from DuPont through a combination of land donation and bargain sale. They held the land until a year later when, with funding from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund, the state purchased an additional 7,600 acres from The Conservation Fund. In 2000, another 500 acres was purchased by the state. After The Conservation Fund’s assistance in acquiring the more than 8,000 acres, the state completed its land acquisition with the purchase of 2,200 acres from a separate developer. The name DuPont Forest originates from the DuPont Corporation who arranged the sale of the original tract to the state. Adjacent tracts have since been purchased and added to the state forest.
