While their exact origins are still a mystery, they are believed to have a mix of European, African, and Native American heritage. The Vardy Community is essential in understanding the history and culture of this unique group in the United States. The Vardy Community School, which has been restored, now operates as a museum showcasing the history and heritage of the Melungeons.
