The Byrd Center was proud to have the traveling exhibit on the life of Senator Byrd on display in the Rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill during the week of Sept. 19-23. The highlight of this week was a reception for former staff members of Senator Byrd, members of the House and Senate and current staff of West Virginia’s congressional delegation and other friends and colleagues of the Byrd Center. 

After receiving over 1,500 visitors at the Harris-Jefferson Student Center at Bluefield State College in August, the Byrd Exhibit hit the road again to its next destination, the town of Lewisburg in Greenbrier County. On Friday, September 2, 2016, the exhibit opened with a reception graciously hosted at the spacious Greenbrier Valley Visitors Center with support from the Dinsmore Law Firm. The exhibit will remain on display at the Greenbrier Valley Visitors Center through the end of September.
