Lewisburg, West Virginia – Carnegie Hall invites the community to step into Lewisburg’s storied past with Historic Cemetery Tours: The Stories Beneath the Stones, presented in partnership with the Greenbrier Historical Society. As part of Carnegie’s annual Hall-O-Ween programming, these guided candlelit tours offer a rare opportunity to explore sections of two of Lewisburg’s historic cemeteries and uncover the remarkable lives—and unforgettable legends—of those laid to rest there.
