Nine of these markers are placed in the residential historic districts of Bluefield.  The Bluefield seal is located at the top of the markers.

The Bluefield Garden Tour, when scheduled, showcases the gardens of several Bluefield homes.   Many of these homes are on the National Register of Historic Places.  A caterer usually showcases food at each site and special music is usually provided at some homes.  Tickets are sold in advance and on the day of the tour.  The proceeds benefit the Children's Home Society of West Virginia's "We Can" Child-mentoring Program.

Dear Members and Contributors,

The Bluefield Historical Society will meet at the home of John and Becky Beckett, 1500 College Avenue, Bluefield, WV, on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.  The speaker will be Dr. Dave Hous, Professor of history at Bluefield State College.

The 2010 Historical Society project is near completion.  A granite marker has been erected in the circle at the end of Oakhurst Avenue commemorating the work of Alex B. Mahood (1888-1970) well known architect from Bluefield, who designed many of the historical homes in the area.  The John Nash project at Chicory Square was completed last summer and the dedication of that marker was held on September 4, 2009.

We hope to see you at our annual meeting in August.  Please send in the membership form or pay your dues at the annual meeting.  Anyone who would like to bring an appetizer may do so.  Drinks will be provided.

Yours truly,

Terry Whittington

President
