May 15—LEWISBURG — The Union County Historical Society will host the program "Settling the West Branch Valley" by Dr. Michael Brown on June 8 at 1 p.m., in the UCHS Gallery at 15 N. Water St. in Lewisburg.

A display will include their guns, documents signed by them, and other accoutrements from that time.

The program is free and open to the public.
