#Coal Town History
🌟 From Vicky Neal, our AmeriCorps and Hidden History Oral Historian: Do you know where Bellburn is in western Greenbrier County? It's between Charmco and Quinwood, right off of Route 20! There's still a church there and a few houses, but at one time, it was a growing coal town. 📽 Listen to Beulah Price of Rupert reminisce about her memories of the community: | Greenbrier Historical Society & North House Museum
