View Of The Valley!
Set amid the Allegheny Mountains, in an area rich in history and natural beauty, lies the Greenbrier River Valley and Greenbrier County.
Greenbrier County is in the southeastern corner of West Virginia on the Virginia state line. Farms and forests comprise 95% of the county's 1,026 square miles. A series of steep, parallel ridges and narrow valleys makes up the eastern part of the county, which is primarily woodlands and well suited for recreational use. A cool, rugged, mountainous area with deep gorges, rushing mountain streams, and elevations over 4,000 feet dominates the western part of the county. In any part of the county one is never far from the forests that cover 70% of the county's 656,640 acres. But Greenbrier County is not only a place on the map; it is a place in time. From the rugged mountains of the west to the broad savannahs of the east, the area is known far and wide as one of the most attractive of West Virginia's 55 beautiful counties. To the east is the county seat, Lewisburg, which has come to be known as a place for history buffs of all ages travelers seeking something other than patented tourist attractions.
Lewisburg is a 200-year-old town with many 18th and 19th-century buildings, where the steeple clock still tolls the hour and the church bells ring out on Sunday mornings. Old structures, converted to new purposes, are still in use, and antebellum homes (often remaining in the same families for generations) are still occupied. There is a comfortable relationship between past and present, and the town has followed a pattern of natural continuity and vitality rather than one of contrived restoration. In 1978, a 236-acre area in the heart of Lewisburg was designated a National Register Historic District.
Within five minutes of the historic district, travelers will come upon scenery thought only to exist in old landscape paintings. They will see narrow country roads winding through rolling farmlands, 19-century farmhouses and manor houses, and shaded ponds tucked away into hollows. Springtime might present a vista of blooming orchards, frisky spring lambs, or a flock of Canada geese resting on a pond. Visitors may chance upon an old covered bridge over a sparkling creek, or find themselves surrounded by cool mountains, magnificent in autumn. Other seasons offer the breathtaking beauty of a waterfall frozen in place, or the splendor of the brightly colored birds that inhabit the area. All of these attractions combine to provide the visitor with a respite from a faster, more hectic world. Today, more and more people discover Greenbrier County and they too come and they too decide to stay. Some find an indefinable "magic" here; others feel the quiet gentleness and know it is a good place to live and raise a family. Still others look to the future and locate new businesses here. Today, modern air and land transportation has opened Greenbrier County and Lewisburg to the world, while it still has retained a special small-town quality, which endears it to those who call it home. If you are seeking a special place in time, come take a look at beautiful, healthy, and historic Greenbrier County. Come prepared to stay.
