The Martinsburg Historical Society has been involved with the restoration of the town's abandoned cemeteries. We want to thank the volunteers who have already completed the enormous task of clearing the site of the overgrown brush. The restoration was completed in the fall of 2022. Re-dedication and military honors were rendered in the fall of 2023. We have a book out about the cemetery and the project. A historic sign and a flag pole were installed to complete the cemetery grounds. It looks beautiful!
We are sad to announce that the West Martinsburg Mercantile has closed and is now for sale. We are forever grateful to Kim Gracey for the years she would display and sell the books and crafted items to benefit both the West Martinsburg Church and the Martinsburg Historical Society. We wish her the best in her retirement and travels.
