about greenbrier historical society

Founded in 1963, the Greenbrier Historical Society is dedicated to community enrichment through education and preservation of the diverse history and culture of the Greenbrier Valley. As a regional organization, we serve four West Virginia counties; Greenbrier, Monroe, Summers, and Pocahontas. We are the stewards of four properties; the North House Museum & Archives, the Barracks, the Blue Sulphur Springs Pavilion, and the 1834 Supreme Court of Appeals Law Library & Study Building.

Roll of Honor

The GHS Roll of Honor was established in 2024 to provide a method for us to recognize in perpetuity those individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary love for the history of the Greenbrier and Meadow River Valleys, remarkable devotion to its preservation and presentation to the public, and whose generous gifts of time, talent, and/or treasures have contributed immeasurably to accomplishing our mission.

Only individuals may normally be nominated, although the Board of Directors may accept the nomination of a foundation or other organization whose support is deemed so exceptional as to be worthy of this special recognition.
