Jesse Jones (1907-2003) was a widely recognized Appalachian basket maker from Scott County, Virginia, known for his traditional white oak rib-type baskets. While he did not receive the specific National Heritage Winner award (formally, the National Heritage Fellowship), he gained significant recognition for his mastery of the craft.

Recognition and Exhibitions: His baskets are works of art and are exhibited at prominent locations such as the Museum of Appalachia.
