In the serene landscapes of Greenbrier County, history and nature come alive. At its core is Lewisburg, one of West Virginia’s oldest towns, recognized as one of America’s top 100 Best Small Art Towns. Established in 1792, Lewisburg proudly showcases a 236-acre National Register Historic District, adorned with 18th and 19th-century architectural gems. For a day of rest and rejuvenation, head to White Sulphur Springs for a soothing day at the Pomona Salt Cave and Spa.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the county is a haven of adventure. Traverse the scenic Greenbrier River Trail and explore Greenbrier State Forest to enjoy fishing, camping, cycling and canoeing along the Greenbrier River. Go deep underground at Lost World Caverns and mark your calendar for the State Fair of West Virginia every August in Fairlea. 

Enjoy the local scene with shopping, dining, and artisanal spirits, such as those from Smooth Ambler Spirits Distillery, Hawk Knob, Appalachian Hard Cider and Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company, available throughout the county. Lewisburg is known for its arts and culture, with venues like Carnegie Hall and Greenbrier Valley Theatre boasting larger-than-life productions.
