The Williamsburg Museum has hosted a West Virginia birthday party every year since 1998.
This year, the celebration will be held Saturday, June 17, from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. The museum is located in Greenbrier County, on Rt.17 about a half mile from the center of Williamsburg.
A flag raising at 10:30 a.m. by VFW Harry Steele Post 6737 will start the day. Displays of musical instruments from the 1880s and photos from the Trout Community Flood of 2016 will be available. Presentations from 4-H members, local authors, and concessions for a donation are planned.
There is no charge for tours of the museum on this day, and the entertainment factor is a great inspiration for you to attend for the first time.
New books from local authors are available in the gift shop, and some of those authors may be there to sign your choice. Douglas Williams has written “Trout Valley, Early Settlers and Events.” Emerson Williams has several books on local themes in the books store along with Betty Hippert’s “Once Upon A Time,” books by George Hall, Ann Williams and more.
For more information, or if you’d like to bring a family heirloom musical instrument to add to the display for the party, call C. Perkins at 304-645-2153.
