OWNER'S NARRATIVE
100-YEAR HISTORY OF THE GILBERT GREENBRIER PROPERTY
Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert
May 3, 2025
In 1921, our grandfather, Lewis Neuman Gilbert, ("Poppaw Gilbert"), a logger, blacksmith and coal miner from Ronceverte, WV, purchased the original 170-acre tract of land in Greenbrier County with the apparent notion that the property was very close to the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns. Folklore was that these caves still held hidden Civil War treasures of GOLD left there by the Confederates when Confederate paper money was no longer being accepted as legal tender and subsequently hidden there from the Union soldiers to be later recovered. The Gold was never found. Nevertheless, forty years went by and in the 1960's, the US Federal Interstate Highway system came through Greenbrier County, cutting the right of way of this property away from the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns connection. The property was rich in wildlife, big game, as well as huge American Chestnut trees that were 3 to 4 feet in diameter. (It was later discovered in the early 60's the Chestnut trees were cut down and "stolen" from the property!)
In 1962, Lewis Neuman Gilbert passed away leaving his three sons- WF "Pete" Gilbert, Arthur "Arch" L Gilbert, and Jack "Jack" D Gilbert, Sr., the original 170 acres property. In the mid 1960s, the Gilbert brothers were approached by a lumberman to timber the property. In doing so, the lumberman not only paid them for the lumber, but he also agreed to obtain and transfer a Right of Way to Route 60 (now the gate entrance) and bought and transferred an additional 168+ acres to the Gilbert brothers, that now represents the existing 338.58 acres of the Gilbert Property. The lumberman also created/improved the now existing hunting access/logging roads. Since the 1960s the property has been primarily used for family game hunting and ATV recreation/camping.
In 2009, Arthur L. Gilbert passed away, leaving his 1/3 of the Property to his son, Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert. In 2012, WF Pete Gilbert passed away and left his 1/3 to his surviving brother, Jack D Gilbert, Sr. The current owners of the Property are Jack D Gilbert, Sr. 2/3 and Dr. Lewis D Gilbert 1/3. Approximately five years ago, a carefully selected harvest of timber was conducted by Certified Foresters to enhance grassland areas for the benefit of upland game and the deer population. Timbered areas were reseeded with quality grasses to restore the grasslands. The logging roads were also improved to gain better access to the far regions of the property from the Route 60 gate entrance. As Mother Nature continues to enhance the property, it is a choice setting for a rustic or log cabin residence, camping sanctuary, Air B&B or wildlife meeting center. Located only minutes from 1-64, and 10 minutes from Lewisburg town center.

OWNER'S NARRATIVE
100-YEAR HISTORY OF THE GILBERT GREENBRIER PROPERTY
Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert
May 3, 2025
In 1921, our grandfather, Lewis Neuman Gilbert, ("Poppaw Gilbert"), a logger, blacksmith and coal miner from Ronceverte, WV, purchased the original 170-acre tract of land in Greenbrier County with the apparent notion that the property was very close to the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns. Folklore was that these caves still held hidden Civil War treasures of GOLD left there by the Confederates when Confederate paper money was no longer being accepted as legal tender and subsequently hidden there from the Union soldiers to be later recovered. The Gold was never found. Nevertheless, forty years went by and in the 1960's, the US Federal Interstate Highway system came through Greenbrier County, cutting the right of way of this property away from the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns connection. The property was rich in wildlife, big game, as well as huge American Chestnut trees that were 3 to 4 feet in diameter. (It was later discovered in the early 60's the Chestnut trees were cut down and "stolen" from the property!)
In 1962, Lewis Neuman Gilbert passed away leaving his three sons- WF "Pete" Gilbert, Arthur "Arch" L Gilbert, and Jack "Jack" D Gilbert, Sr., the original 170 acres property. In the mid 1960s, the Gilbert brothers were approached by a lumberman to timber the property. In doing so, the lumberman not only paid them for the lumber, but he also agreed to obtain and transfer a Right of Way to Route 60 (now the gate entrance) and bought and transferred an additional 168+ acres to the Gilbert brothers, that now represents the existing 338.58 acres of the Gilbert Property. The lumberman also created/improved the now existing hunting access/logging roads. Since the 1960s the property has been primarily used for family game hunting and ATV recreation/camping.
In 2009, Arthur L. Gilbert passed away, leaving his 1/3 of the Property to his son, Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert. In 2012, WF Pete Gilbert passed away and left his 1/3 to his surviving brother, Jack D Gilbert, Sr. The current owners of the Property are Jack D Gilbert, Sr. 2/3 and Dr. Lewis D Gilbert 1/3. Approximately five years ago, a carefully selected harvest of timber was conducted by Certified Foresters to enhance grassland areas for the benefit of upland game and the deer population. Timbered areas were reseeded with quality grasses to restore the grasslands. The logging roads were also improved to gain better access to the far regions of the property from the Route 60 gate entrance. As Mother Nature continues to enhance the property, it is a choice setting for a rustic or log cabin residence, camping sanctuary, Air B&B or wildlife meeting center. Located only minutes from 1-64, and 10 minutes from Lewisburg town center.

In 2012, WF Pete Gilbert passed away and left his 1/3 to his surviving brother, Jack D Gilbert, Sr. The current owners of the Property are Jack D Gilbert, Sr. 2/3 and Dr. Lewis D Gilbert 1/3. Approximately five years ago, a carefully selected harvest of timber was conducted by Certified Foresters to enhance grassland areas for the benefit of upland game and the deer population. Timbered areas were reseeded with quality grasses to restore the grasslands. The logging roads were also improved to gain better access to the far regions of the property from the Route 60 gate entrance. As Mother Nature continues to enhance the property, it is a choice setting for a rustic or log cabin residence, camping sanctuary, Air B&B or wildlife meeting center. Located only minutes from 1-64, and 10 minutes from Lewisburg town center.

OWNER'S NARRATIVE
100-YEAR HISTORY OF THE GILBERT GREENBRIER PROPERTY
Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert
May 3, 2025
In 1921, our grandfather, Lewis Neuman Gilbert, ("Poppaw Gilbert"), a logger, blacksmith and coal miner from Ronceverte, WV, purchased the original 170-acre tract of land in Greenbrier County with the apparent notion that the property was very close to the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns. Folklore was that these caves still held hidden Civil War treasures of GOLD left there by the Confederates when Confederate paper money was no longer being accepted as legal tender and subsequently hidden there from the Union soldiers to be later recovered. The Gold was never found. Nevertheless, forty years went by and in the 1960's, the US Federal Interstate Highway system came through Greenbrier County, cutting the right of way of this property away from the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns connection. The property was rich in wildlife, big game, as well as huge American Chestnut trees that were 3 to 4 feet in diameter. (It was later discovered in the early 60's the Chestnut trees were cut down and "stolen" from the property!)
In 1962, Lewis Neuman Gilbert passed away leaving his three sons- WF "Pete" Gilbert, Arthur "Arch" L Gilbert, and Jack "Jack" D Gilbert, Sr., the original 170 acres property. In the mid 1960s, the Gilbert brothers were approached by a lumberman to timber the property. In doing so, the lumberman not only paid them for the lumber, but he also agreed to obtain and transfer a Right of Way to Route 60 (now the gate entrance) and bought and transferred an additional 168+ acres to the Gilbert brothers, that now represents the existing 338.58 acres of the Gilbert Property. The lumberman also created/improved the now existing hunting access/logging roads. Since the 1960s the property has been primarily used for family game hunting and ATV recreation/camping.
In 2009, Arthur L. Gilbert passed away, leaving his 1/3 of the Property to his son, Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert. In 2012, WF Pete Gilbert passed away and left his 1/3 to his surviving brother, Jack D Gilbert, Sr. The current owners of the Property are Jack D Gilbert, Sr. 2/3 and Dr. Lewis D Gilbert 1/3.

OWNER'S NARRATIVE
100-YEAR HISTORY OF THE GILBERT GREENBRIER PROPERTY
Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert
May 3, 2025
In 1921, our grandfather, Lewis Neuman Gilbert, ("Poppaw Gilbert"), a logger, blacksmith and coal miner from Ronceverte, WV, purchased the original 170-acre tract of land in Greenbrier County with the apparent notion that the property was very close to the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns. Folklore was that these caves still held hidden Civil War treasures of GOLD left there by the Confederates when Confederate paper money was no longer being accepted as legal tender and subsequently hidden there from the Union soldiers to be later recovered. The Gold was never found. Nevertheless, forty years went by and in the 1960's, the US Federal Interstate Highway system came through Greenbrier County, cutting the right of way of this property away from the Organ Caves/Lost Caverns connection. The property was rich in wildlife, big game, as well as huge American Chestnut trees that were 3 to 4 feet in diameter. (It was later discovered in the early 60's the Chestnut trees were cut down and "stolen" from the property!)
In 1962, Lewis Neuman Gilbert passed away leaving his three sons- WF "Pete" Gilbert, Arthur "Arch" L Gilbert, and Jack "Jack" D Gilbert, Sr., the original 170 acres property. In the mid 1960s, the Gilbert brothers were approached by a lumberman to timber the property. In doing so, the lumberman not only paid them for the lumber, but he also agreed to obtain and transfer a Right of Way to Route 60 (now the gate entrance) and bought and transferred an additional 168+ acres to the Gilbert brothers, that now represents the existing 338.58 acres of the Gilbert Property. The lumberman also created/improved the now existing hunting access/logging roads. Since the 1960s the property has been primarily used for family game hunting and ATV recreation/camping.
In 2009, Arthur L. Gilbert passed away, leaving his 1/3 of the Property to his son, Dr. Lewis D. Gilbert. In 2012, WF Pete Gilbert passed away and left his 1/3 to his surviving brother, Jack D Gilbert, Sr. The current owners of the Property are Jack D Gilbert, Sr. 2/3 and Dr. Lewis D Gilbert 1/3. Approximately five years ago, a carefully selected harvest of timber was conducted by Certified Foresters to enhance grassland areas for the benefit of upland game and the deer population. Timbered areas were reseeded with quality grasses to restore the grasslands. The logging roads were also improved to gain better access to the far regions of the property from the Route 60 gate entrance. As Mother Nature continues to enhance the property, it is a choice setting for a rustic or log cabin residence, camping sanctuary, Air B&B or wildlife meeting center. Located only minutes from 1-64, and 10 minutes from Lewisburg town center.

"Traveller 1840, is the historic farm where Robert E. Lee's war horse, Traveller, was foaled in 1857.
THE BRICK HOUSE
(HAMILTON/JOHNSTON/JARRETT/FLESHMAN FARM)
By Margaret Hambrick, Local Historian
Major William Hamilton likely came to the Greenbrier Valley in 1769 and moved to the Blue Sulphur area in 1773. He married Isabelle Clements. He built a log cabin on this farm and lived to be 81 years old (Dayton 1942: p 262). As the family's wealth increased, the Brick House was built by either son Andrew Hamilton who married Delilah Jarrett or son Jacob Hamilton.
Dated by a brick near the front door which says "1840", this house shows its roots in the Adam style including "having curved or polygonal projections to the side or rear" (McAlester 1994: p 153). The use of a hipped roof was not uncommon to this style. The once detached kitchen was incorporated into the house using a breezeway with living space added behind and above the kitchen. The bricks may have been fired and laid by locally famous brickmaker John Dunn. He is known to have made the bricks for the Blue Sulphur Springs Resort and what is more likely than, while there, he was also engaged to make the bricks for this house.
While the outside retains its Adamesque characteristics, the inside shows evidence of style change and renovation. The faux grain painting on the woodwork in the four main upstairs rooms is a remarkable example of this style of decoration.
THREE OWNERS IN 170 YEARS
The historic Brick House has changed ownership just three times in the past 170 years. The Hamilton family built the home circa 1840. Hamilton's then sold the Brick House to the Johnston-Jarrett family in 1855. The Johnston-Jarrett family owned the home from 1855 until selling it to the Fleshman family in 1949. The Fleshman family has now owned the Brick House for 76 years.
Timeline of ownership - Andrew D. Johnston purchased the farm from Jacob Hamilton in 1855. Johnston left the farm to his son, Thompson Hickman Jarrett. The farm was inherited by T. H. Jarrett's daughter Pauline Jarrett Huff. Mrs. Huff and her children sold the farm to Lewis A. Fleshman in 1949 (Deed Book 169: p 558). It is currently owned by Doris Fleshman Griffith.
Of note: Thompson Hickman Jarrett who served three terms in the WV Legislature and was Sheriff of Greenbrier County from 1906 to 1912.
TRAVELLER - GEN. ROBERT E. LEE'S WAR HORSE
Traveller, General Lee's war horse, was born on this farm, known as the Hamilton Farm, in 1857 in the Blue Sulphur Springs Valley. Traveller was an American Saddlebred and as a colt, he took top honors at the Lewisburg, Virginia, fairs in 1858, 1859 and 1860. As an adult, Traveller was a sturdy horse, 16 hands tall, Iron gray in color with black points, a long mane and flowing tail. From all accounts, Traveller was difficult, high-strung, a bit unruly, and pranced or jigged wherever he went.
General Lee first saw the horse when he took command of Confederate troops near Big Sewell Mountain, along the Midland Trail (Route 60) under a tree that came to be known as "Lee's Tree" (Pendleton 2004: p 14). At that time, Traveller had been sold to Captain Joseph M. Broun by Captain James W. Johnston, to whom the horse had been gifted by his father, Andrew Johnston. Lee later bought Traveller from Major Broun for the sum of $200 Confederate money (Pendleton 2004: p 16). Lee rode Traveller throughout the Civil War and his subsequent retirement. It is stated that Traveller went into battle more than any other Civil War horse.
Traveller walked behind the hearse at Lee's funeral and continued to be well cared for until his death in June 1871, just eight months after the death of General Lee.
Traveller was trained by an enslaved person, Frank Wilson, who after emancipation changed his name to Frank Winfield Page (Pendleton 2004: p 13). Some of the early horse training equipment is on display at the North House Museum in Lewisburg.
Mary Lucinda Page (Kelly), the first of Franks two daughters, wrote to her daughter Harriet M. Williams in 1976 that "My father was taught to go out on the Johnson farm early in the mornings and drive up the young horses from the field. He started riding at the age of ten. The horses were penned up; a bridle put on them. Then he would ride those horses every day until they were gentle. That's why it is said he was the first man to break 'Traveler' Gen Robert. E. Lee's famous' war horse" (Pendleton 2004: p 14).
Horses must be trained to tolerate commotion, people, and other strange horses. One can imagine Page riding him past the Blue Sulphur Springs Resort for that purpose. Little did he know he was training him for war.

BLUE SULPHUR SPRINGS VALLEY
By the early 1800's, the Blue Sulphur Valley was already well settled. Farms and small homesteads were served by 3 main turnpikes, including the Lewisburg-Blue Sulphur, Meadow Bluff-Blue Sulphur and the Red Sulphur-Blue Sulphur Turnpikes. These turnpikes were connected to the two major overland routes of the Midland Trail and Seneca Trail. There was also a road leading to Alderson on the Greenbrier River where it connected to the C&O Railroad.
The valley became an important agricultural and timber region. Blaker's Mill was a gristmill grinding wheat, corn, oats and barley while the Piercy's Mill processed wool as well as grains.
In 1832, construction of the Blue Sulphur Springs Resort was begun and finished in 1839. The resort would accommodate some 350 guests who came to take the healing waters of the mineral spring with the blueish hue. The Resort was mostly burned in 1864 by Union Troops.
"THE BLUE" THE BLUE SULPHUR SPRINGS RESORT
Mineral-spring resorts were all the rage for the rich and famous in the eastern U.S. in the 1800s, and the iridescent waters at Blue Sulphur Springs, in Greenbrier County, were no less famous than those of their extant counterparts, such as those at The Greenbrier in nearby White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and The Homestead, in Hot Springs, Virginia. Thousands once visited the Blue, though it was fated to enjoy less fame. Its pavilion is all that remains to tell the tale.
The Greek Revival pavilion at Blue Sulphur Springs is in many respects a fraternal twin of the pavilion at White Sulphur Springs, though the latter is rounded, the former, squared. A 32-foot-high square structure, its monumental hip-roof is supported by 12 Doric columns and protects a marble basin which fills with spring water.
The pavilion was the focal point of a 200-room resort built by George Washington Buster in 1834 and attracted many notable guests, including Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Robert E. Lee, Henry Clay, and Jerome Bonaparte.
Resort physician Dr. Alexis Martin opened the nations first curative mud baths here, but competition from The Greenbrier and an antebellum economic downturn caused the resort to close in 1858. Briefly it was used by the Baptists of Virginia as a ministerial college.
When the Civil War broke out, the resort facilities were used by both Confederate and Union forces, and it was intentionally burned to the ground by the Union Army in the last years of the conflict. Only the pavilion su

Greenbrier County - 162 Monroe Street, Alderson, WV
Charming 1887 Two Story Home The Gem Of The Hills, Alderson WV
Nestled in the heart of historic Alderson, West Virginia, on the Greenbrier County side of town, stands a graceful vintage home built in 1887-a true testament to timeless Appalachian charm and craftsmanship. With its stately presence and classic architecture and over 2000 SF, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers more than just a place to live-it tells a story. From the moment you step onto the wide, covered front porch, you're transported to a quieter, simpler time. Imagine warm summer evenings spent on a rocking chair, listening to the chirp of crickets and the distant sound of the Greenbrier River gently flowing just a short stroll away. The porch isn't just an entryway-it's an invitation to pause, relax, and soak in the character of this remarkable property. Inside, the home has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated. Original woodwork and tall windows echo the elegance of the late 19th century, while modern comforts like central HVAC bring year-round ease to everyday living. The spacious layout provides room for privacy and gathering, whether hosting family in the generous living areas or retreating to one of the peaceful upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen and dining spaces blend old-world charm with practical updates, ideal for preparing a meal after a walk to the local market. The full bath on the second floor and convenient half bath on the main level ensure both comfort and function. Step outside and you're within walking distance of everything that makes Alderson special. Quaint shops, seasonal farmers markets, and friendly faces await downtown. The nearby Greenbrier River offers endless recreation opportunities-whether it's kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying a walk along its scenic banks. This 1887 gem isn't just a house-it's a cornerstone of Alderson's heritage. A place where history, community, and natural beauty meet. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a special retreat, this home offers the rare chance to live in a piece of West Virginia's story.
