West Virginia History Day, informational displays at the State Capitol, Charleston, 9 AM – 2 PM February 19
History Day is a celebration of the Mountain State that brings together participants from all over the state. Representatives of historical, genealogical and preservation societies, as well as educational groups, museums and historical sites, bring displays and literature to share with legislators, the public and each other. Many display historical photographs and artifacts, and others dress in period costume. Historical re-enactors strolling through the Capitol halls in character are a highlight.
