Lewisburg, WV Shirts

Set in the rolling farm country of the Greenbrier Valley, Lewisburg has been quietly accumulating culture the way other towns accumulate traffic. Its historic downtown dates to the late 1700s, all stone churches and brick facades, and somewhere along the way it acquired a genuine Carnegie hall, a 1902 gift that remains one of only a handful of Carnegie halls in the world still in continuous use. So a valley town of a few blocks hosts serious music, theater, and galleries, and nobody who lives there finds this the least bit remarkable. In 2011 a national contest voted it the coolest small town in America, which Lewisburg absorbed with characteristic calm before going back to its festivals. Our Lewisburg design captures that doubleness: the stately hall standing proud at center, Main Street rooflines gathered close around it, the green hills of the valley rolling out behind. It is a shirt about a town that chose culture and pasture in equal measure. Lewisburg businesses take the stage on this page as they join ShirtMap.
