About Us

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 own and manage 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.
​

Over 50 years ago, approximately fifty individuals met at the Greenbrier County Courthouse to discuss the possibility of forming a historical society. From its humble beginnings in a 12x24 foot cinder-block building, the Greenbrier Historical Society has grown into a premier organization with three historical properties and an outstanding archival collection. We strive to make history fun and relevant through educational programming, special exhibits, and events.
