THE TOWN OF ALDERSON
Alderson, West Virginia, is a quaint small town on the free-flowing Greenbrier River in Greenbrier, Monroe, and Summers counties; it was settled in 1777 by John Alderson, a frontier missionary Gospel preacher for whom the town was named. In later years an Alderson descendant founded a Baptist seminary that was later moved north because of the Great Depression to become Alderson-Broaddus College at Philippi, WV. The Federal Reformatory for Women was the first federal prison for women, established here in the 1920s after a group of local businessmen visited Washington, D.C., to propose to the federal government that the Institution be placed in Alderson. The town is famous for its annual "Best" Independence Day Celebration and the Strawberry Festival, held every May. Camp Greenbrier for Boys has been a staple in the community since 1895, and every summer is busy with campers from across the United States.
HIGHLIGHTS
The home is move into ready. The most recent addition of the detached garage complex includes a climate-controlled wine cellar and a custom mancave with plenty of room with a half bath and a laundry unit. Spend time enjoying the view of the Greenbrier River from the front porch, or head around back to two screened-in porches
