The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier is one of this country's oldest resorts. Originally built for wealthy Southerners, the large complex of sulphur springs, luxury accommodations, formal gardens and golf courses is still a primary symbol of gracious southern entertaining. Known from its beginning as the "Queen of Southern Spas," this West Virginia watering place has always been fashionable and also has enjoyed a number of testimonials from physicians who thought the springs salubrious.
The Greenbrier is historically significant under Criteria A and C, with its period of significance ranging from 1820 to 1940.
