Lewisburg
is a small city located in Greenbrier County in southeastern West Virginia. As of the 2000 census, the population was 3,624 residents. Nestled among the forested Allegheny mountains and with access to the Greenbrier State Forest and the New and Greenbrier Rivers, Lewisburg is an outdoor lovers dream. Sports enthusiasts enjoy hiking, rock climbing, white water rafting, canoeing, mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding. Lewisburg is also host to a number of arts and crafts fairs and outdoor theater productions under the stars. For a small town, Lewisburg has a surprising and very diverse arts scene. Traditional homespun arts and crafts can be found here, along with several fine art galleries in the historic downtown area. Intertwined among the unique shops and restaurants are nearly 70 buildings on the National Register of Historic Districts. This is a town that is a must see for Civil War buffs - historical landmarks, old cemeteries and battlegrounds abound in the area. Some of Lewisburg's buildings still bear scars of the battle fought there, and a mass grave outside of town holds the remains of 95 unknown Confederate soldiers killed at the Lewisburg battle. Tours of historic Lewisburg are given via horse drawn carriages. National Geographic has named Lewisburg as one of its "Best Small Town Escapes."

Lewisburg Weather & Climate

|
Southern West Virginia , near the Virginia border, has a mild, four-season climate. Within this region, the city of Bluefield prides itself on its hospitable climate. Since 1938 the Bluefield Chamber of Commerce has given free lemonade when the temperature has surpassed 90F. The city's motto is "nature's air conditioned city, where the summer spends the winter." Indeed, due to the high elevation, this region has a somewhat cooler and more moist climate than surrounding areas at lower altitudes. Summers are mild and humid with high temperatures ranging from the 60s to low 70s F. Summer low temperatures average 50-55 F, although temperatures below freezing have been recorded in every month of the year. Winters are typically cold and snowy. Nearly all snow falls from October through April. Severe storms, such as tornadoes, are rare in this region.
