Banners
Elk, as the village was once called, is said to have been
settled around 1850. By the end of the century, the
Presbyterian Church was becoming established in the area and
in the summer of 1895 Concord Presbytery sent a young
student from Union Theological Seminary in Virginia to
organize a church at Banner Elk. In 1897, newly ordained,
the Reverend Edgar Tufts returned as pastor of the church
and remained to serve the community until his death in 1923.
In the winter of 1899, concerned with the limited offering
of the district school which was supplemented only by summer
school work conducted by the church, Mr. Tufts took some of
the young people of the neighborhood into his study for
further instruction. This small group, called the Class of
1900, marks the beginning of Lees-McRae College."
