Glenwood is an elegant Greek Revival residence on Charleston's West Side that was home to the Laidley, Summers, and Quarrier families for nearly 130 years. Now owned by the Historical Glenwood Foundation, it was an agricultural plantation prior to the Civil War. Dr. Billy Joe Peyton, chair of the History Department at West Virginia State University, will provide an overview of the estate through maps, pictures, and words, detailing the evolution of Glenwood and the local slave history of the Kanawha Valley.
Adults • Registration required.
The Cross Lanes Library is also hosting a traveling exhibit titled Glenwood: Window to the West Side from February 12 through March 26. This traveling exhibit is a project of the Graduate Humanities Program of the Marshall University Graduate College and is funded by the West Virginia Humanities Council.
