Great news for button-pushing lovers: the Civil War table map is lighting up! It’s been a journey getting this figured out, and we appreciate everyone’s patience with this process.

Hey it’s another #moodymonday ! This is one of my favorite photos I took last year. A very foggy blue hour before a fantastic sunrise on the Shavers Fork River just outside of Elkins, WV, taken this past October during peak color in that area. I couldn’t have been luckier with the conditions. Hope you like this one and thanks for viewing!

I learned to use a weaving loom and made a YouTube video for work! On the Beverly Heritage Center’s YouTube page there’s now a “how to” video for our 1868 barn loom! Not my usual content, but I’m super proud and excited of the work I did there!
