Greenbrier Historical Society speaks about new vision statement and talk on the importance of preservation
LEWISBURG, WV (WVNS) — The Greenbrier Historical Society has announced a new vision statement.
‘Coffee Talks’ session hosted by West Virginia Hive
This statement speaks about how the Society finds it important to preserve and celebrating the rich history of the Greenbrier Valley while inspiring generations to come and current generations who already get to view it.
They go by one statement:
“To be the premiere source and steward of Greenbrier Valley history, delivering meaningful exhibits and events that illuminate the past and inspire a better future.”
For this new milestone, The Greenbrier Historical Society will invite the community to a talk on “Why Historical Preservation is Important” by Moss Rudley. He is the Superintendent of the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) and knows a lot about historical preservation and its importance.
Rudley started as a mason before getting his current job. His ideas and creativity has led to programs such as the Traditional Trades Advancement Program (TTAP), a trade program for the younger generation for getting into trade work.
This talk will be on May 2, 2024 at 5:00 P.M. in the New River Community and Technical College Greenbrier Hall. Rudley will talk about the importance of historical preservation and discuss the importance of preserving trade work.
“One of our own Greenbrier boys is now leading the way to preserving historical properties in his role of superintendent of the national organization training artisans. I cannot wait to hear about their work and how we can use this knowledge in our efforts to preserve the history of the Greenbrier Valley. His dedication and innovation in the preservation community align perfectly with our mission to steward the Greenbrier Valley History,” said Mary Lindquist, Board Member of the Greenbrier Historical Society.
