Our ledgers from the Strider General Store in Uvilla are coming along nicely! Thanks to our Two Rivers Giving Circle grant from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation, they are having their pages repaired, cleaned, and stabilized, as well as having their spines rebuilt. Here are some photos of the work in progress, done by Cat Tail Run Hand Bookbinding. We look forward to posting before and after photos once the work is finished!

This will be the first time on display for many of the artifacts in this exhibit, including a barrel from a Sheetz Rifle produced in Shepherdstown, a sampler made by Sarah Osbourn in the decades following the Revolution, an early copy of Notes on the State of Virginia, and a land grant signed by Thomas Jefferson. These rare documents will be displayed in a brand new light-limiting exhibit case, along with a letter written by George Washington after the death of his brother Charles.![]()
