History is not just tales from hundreds of years ago, history happens every single day starting with people just like you.  At the Greenbrier Historical Society, the history of every family is important and we’d love to hear about yours. Tell us about the characters in your family story. Share with us the details of your family’s homeplace, burial ground, or livelihood. If possible, please include pictures that can be shared with our readers. Not doing research on your family, but a topic related to Greenbrier Valley History? We would love to learn more about that too! Please send us your stories to publish in this blog. 

Personal entries should be:

• Be no more than 1,000 words in length
• Include a list of sources at the end of your post. Including links to websites and titles/authors of books or publications (if appropriate)
• Be connected to history in the Greenbrier Valley (Greenbrier, Pocahontas, Monroe, or Summers County)
• Be submitted via word document to our email at [email protected] with JPEG or PNG images attached to the email
• Entries will be subject to editing.
