It’s a beautiful place to call home with rolling hills, deep valleys and majestic pines. The Lost World Caverns and Organ Cave Systems are just two of the more famous natural landmarks in our county. Several major cities call Greenbrier home such as Lewisburg, Ronceverte, and White Sulphur Springs as well as dozens of smaller communities and towns like Alderson, Falling Spring, Quinwood, Rainelle and Rupert. Within each of these there are many amazing neighborhoods and communities that evoke a sense of friendly love and community pride.

The Greenbrier County if a fabulous place to call home… even more so is Lewisburg West Virginia.  Home to just under 4,000 residents, this is the county seat of Greenbrier County and an historic center at the crossoads of US Route 60 (the Midland Trail) and US Route 219 which has drawn an enormous amount of growth to that area.

Lewisburg is named after Andrew Lewis when in 1751 established a camp near the spring behind the present courthouse. This spring has been known as the Lewis Spring since that time.

In 1770 a fortified encampment called Fort Savannah was established at the Lewis Spring and in 1774, Governor Dunmore of Virginia instructed then-Colonel Andrew Lewis to gather “willing and able men” to go to the great Kanawha River and stand against the Native American forces that were attacking the Greenbrier Valley. In what became known as Lord Dunmore’s War, over 1,490 men were assembled, some at Fort Pitt at present-day Pittsburgh, and others at Fort Union, on the site of present-day Lewisburg. These recruits included Lewis’s brother Charles, and others which history books refer to as one of the most remarkable assemblages of frontier leaders in American history.

Lewis’s army marched down the New and Kanawha Rivers to the Ohio River, where they intended to cross over and invade the Ohio Country, which was the home of the Shawnees. The Native Americans, led by Cornstalk, attempted to cut them off at the mouth of the Kanawha, where they fought an inconclusive battle that came to be known as the Battle of Point Pleasant.  Lewisburg was formally established in 1782 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly.

To accommodate Virginians west of the mountains, several Virginia courts sat in Lewisburg, where the town and the surrounding farms prospered and a number of spas and resort hotels were established at some of the outlying mineral springs.

In 1978, a 236-acre area in the heart of Lewisburg was designated a National Register Historic District and today, Lewisburg is home to the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, one of 29 osteopathic medical schools in the United States and one of three medical schools in West Virginia.

Performing in its state-of-the-art facility in downtown Lewisburg, Greenbrier Valley Theatre is West Virginia’s Official Year-Round Professional Theatre presenting theatrical performances, musical concerts, literary and also poetry readings.

In 1902, steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie built Carnegie Hall as a classroom building for the Lewisburg Female Institute, later the Greenbrier College for Women. Carnegie Hall, Inc. was incorporated in 1983 as a regional not-for-profit arts and education center. Today, the cultural center annually serves more than 75,000 patrons with live performances by artists from around the world, arts in education programming, classes, workshops, fine art exhibits, an independent film series and more. Carnegie Hall, Inc. is one of only four Carnegie Halls still in continuous use in the world.

Trillium Performing Arts Collective has offered performance, classes and workshops in original dance, movement theatre, and music since 1982. Feature films are screened daily at the Lewis Theatre

The Lost World Caverns are nearby, and feature self-guided tours and numerous rock formations. Organ Cave is also in the area.

The State Fair of West Virginia is held in nearby Fairlea every August.  Lewisburg is the site of West Virginia’s largest Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebration. The event includes a march through downtown Lewisburg, a community lunch, and a program commemorating the memory and legacy of Dr. King.

Belsnickle or Old Christmas is celebrated with the Shanghai Parade on New Year’s Day. In this observation of the older traditions, people dress in costumes and march down the main street. Its term comes from “collie-shanghai”, an old word related to making a lot of noise. The parade has been going on for over 150 years^{[citation needed]}.

The winner for the individual competition went to Aaron Costic winning the Gold Medal with the ice sculpture “Wild Hare”. The prize was $2,000.

The team competition winners were Aaron Costic and Jeff Meyers winning the Gold Medal for the ice sculpture “Apollo’s Steed”. The winners received $2,000.

The temperature was in the high 40s and low 50s for this 3-day event, as compared to last year’s freezing temperature.   Below are the photos of the other ice scupltures in the competition:

Even though the two photos below were beginning to melt and break, you can still see the great detail in the sculptures. The below sculpture of a hand had a dragonfly on the forefinger, but with the warm weather, the ice was melting and breaking.

Part of the wing broke off of this beautiful sculpture.

The lifetime of an ice sculpture is determined primarily by the temperature of its environment and thus, an ice sculpture can last from mere minutes to possibly months.

Check out last year’s ice sculptures… Ice Sculpting Displays and more at The Greenbrier’s First Winterfest Celebration.

According to construction plans, The Livery Tavern, will be opening its doors in February 2012 in the historic town of Lewisburg, WV, known as America’s Coolest Small Town by Budget Magazine.  With this new construction and the opening of Stella’s Tea House on January 16, of this year, the owner, John Hirt, has been busy to say the least.  

Both Stella’s Tea House and the soon to open, The Livery Tavern, reflects  this town’s spirit, its warmth, charm and above all, it’s hospitality.  Both restaurants will be family operated…… John’s sister Tammy Hirt Perilli is the manager of Stella’s Tea House;  and his sister Nancy Stewart will be the manager for The Livery  Tavern.

Like Stella’s, The Livery Tavern will also have a farm-to-table approach to our menu. John Hirt  says he is working with a number of local growers and farmers to source as many of the menu items as possible, such as lamb, beef, buffalo, fish, goat and pork.

John said, “We’ll also be expanding our growing capabilities at Westwinds Ranch (my ranch in Virginia) so we can have better control of the quality of our ingredients. Customers of The Livery Tavern will be able to enjoy elegant indoor seating as well as outdoor seating in the front of the restaurant on Washington Street and in a covered pavilion to the rear of the restaurant. Total seating (indoor and outdoor) will be closer to 100. The interior style will reflect a mid 1800’s tavern but with contemporary styling cues. Dawn (my wife) uses Ralph Lauren influences to accomplish this.”

John is also planning a retail shopping area behind The Livery Tavern and will start construction mid 2012.

I stopped by the construction site and took some photos. The builder, Wells Friedman of Greenbrier Construction Company was kind enough to walk me through the building to take some photos. The large dining room will have cathedral wood ceilings, and a fireplace for those cool evenings; the kitchen and restrooms will be in the back of the restaurant.

The Livery Tavern will definitely be the place to visit for a wonderful dinner experience, just like Stella’s!
