Historic District |
Lewisburg,
WV
walking
tours, historic homes, Civil War
battlefield
Charming Lewisburg looks much as it did
in the late 1700s when many of its homes
and buildings were being built. History
buffs delight in its Civil War historic
sites and early-Virginian agricultural
architecture. Must see sites include the
Andrew Lewis Spring, the Old Stone
Church and Cemetery, and the
cross-shaped mass grave of Rebel
soldiers overlooking the town. Inns,
shops, theaters, galleries, and
restaurants line the district's main
streets. Lewisburg was first named Fort
Savannah as a result of its situation
among broad, level grasslands.
Incorporated in 1782 as Lewisburg, by
the State of Virginia, prior to the
formation of West Virginia, the record
of the town actually dates back to Camp
Union in 1774.
