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:Special Friday Lecture: Revolutionary War Medicine w/Dr. Peter Ward
DESCRIPTION:FREE! Everyone welcome.\nLocation: North House MuseumMuseum opens at 5 PM. Lecture will begin at 5:30 PM.\n\nThe American Revolution brought about changes in how colonists related with their government. It moved them from an understanding rooted in the medieval era to one based on the enlightenment era and re-evaluating traditions.\n\nAt the same time\, a similar process was occurring in how medicine was practiced in the soon-to-be United States. We will discuss how medical treatment shifted from an ancient and ineffective model to one that applied emerging scientific processes to heal the body.\n\nCome and enjoy a light-hearted (and occasionally gruesome) tour of medicine in the Revolutionary era and how it become the basis for modern healthcare.\n\nAbout Dr. Peter Ward:\n\nPeter J.
