Lewisburg

Situated atop a bluegrass plateau in the Greenbrier Valley, Lewisburg is more than 200 years old, a heritage celebrated in the city's central historic district and the surrounding county, which includes the Greenbrier, a well-known resort dating to 1778, as well as the scenic Alleghany Mountains, once favored by Native Americans for hunting game.
