SUMMARY:Our Stories: First Friday Lecture Series - "School Days of the Past" w/GHS AmeriCorps Oral Historian Vicky Neal
DESCRIPTION:Step back 100 years and discover what school was like for children attending one-room and small rural schools throughout the Greenbrier Valley. \n\n\nVicky Neal is our Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area (AFNHA) AmeriCorps member who has served with the Greenbrier Historical Society for almost two years on the Hidden History of Western Greenbrier County Project. AFNHA is based out of Elkins\, WV\, and serves 16 counties in WV\, with Greenbrier County being the most southern location. \n\n\nBeing an Art Educator of 24 years\, now retired\, and an artist\, she always enjoys being creative. “I feel very fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time to find out about the Hidden History project and asked to join as an AmeriCorps member with GHS. In 2009\, my students and I recorded several community members about the history of the Meadow River Valley\, All of us learning to appreciate our ancestors and developing videography and editing skills. Those citizens have since passed\, so having a place for their oral histories to be used\, along with newer oral histories\, has given me a source of satisfaction and pride.” \n\nThe North House Museum will open at 5 p.m. Lecture will begin at 5:30 p.m.\, and will last approximately 30 – 45 minutes. \n\nFREE and open to the public!

SUMMARY:Appalachian Ingenuity Series: Paper Marbling with Toni Ogden
DESCRIPTION:Paper marbling is the centuries-old art of creating colorful\, swirling patterns by floating paints on the surface of water and carefully transferring those designs onto paper. Because every print is created by hand\, no two pieces are ever exactly alike\, making each work a one-of-a-kind expression of creativity. Join us in getting creative and leave with a piece of art as unique as you are. \nThis workshop is FREE and all materials will be provided. \nSaturday\, July 18 \n12 PM – 2 PM \nNorth House Museum \nWorkshop will last approximately 90 minutes. \n\nThis workshop is also part of the Greenbrier Historical Society’s Garden Initiative\, a year-long program led by AmeriCorps Environmental Historian Jess Levine.\n\n\nRooted in experiential learning\, the initiative encourages people to discover the remarkable biodiversity of the Greenbrier Valley and Appalachian region and to celebrate it by incorporating native plants into their own landscapes. As part of this effort\, the gardens surrounding the North House Museum are being reimagined with native plantings\, including species that have historically served as medicinal and culinary herbs.\n\n\n\n\nCommunity participation is at the heart of the initiative. Through programs like the Appalachian Ingenuity Series\, we celebrate the Appalachian values of creativity\, resourcefulness\, self-sufficiency\, and shared knowledge while creating opportunities for hands-on learning and connection.\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an afternoon of creativity\, connection\, and hands-on learning as we celebrate the ingenuity and traditions that have shaped our region. We also invite you to stop by the North House Museum Tuesday through Saturday\, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.\, and discover the many programs\, exhibits\, and initiatives bringing local history to life.
