ASHE COUNTY, N.C. — First Lady Melania Trump will travel to Ashe County on Tuesday to promote community resiliency and education technology in schools.

The initiative is part of her focus on preparing children and youth for success in the digital era.
The visit is scheduled for 12:00 p.m.
The trip marks her first return to western North Carolina since January 2025, when she and President Donald Trump toured the damage caused by Hurricane Helene nearly two years ago.
