Beverly Days

Location/County: Beverly, Randolph
July 14, 2018 — July 15, 2018

Beverly, West Virginia was the original county seat of Randolph County, and was a crucial crossroads through settlement, Civil War and 20th Century history. Located 6 miles south of Elkins along US Rt 219, Beverly is an active heritage tourism destination with town historic district, Rich Mountain Battlefield, and multiple museums and shops anchored by the Beverly Heritage Center.

Beverly Heritage Days is our primary heritage event of the year. Living history camps will include Native American, Pioneer, Civil War, and World War II eras. For this year we are seeking additional representation from post‐ Civil War periods, including World War I and civilian life. Living history, first person impressions, demonstrations, heritage crafts and displays are all welcome. The event will welcome music from a variety of periods, and a “timeline” dance Saturday evening will feature music and dancing from 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
