The Greenbrier - Aerial View Painting

History 1778-present:  For most of its history it was owned by the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Railway and then by CSX Corp.  In 2009 it was placed in bankruptcy.  An entrepreneur, Jim Justice, bought the property and restored it to a 5 star status.  Twenty-six U.S. Presidents have stayed here.  It is situated around the beautiful mountains of West Virginia.

My history:  I was fortunate to grow up near this resort.  When I was a little girl, I took swimming lessons in their indoor pool.  When I was in high school and college, I went to dances in the ballrooms; ate in their very elegant dining rooms; shopped at their stores; and when gambling was illegal, gambled in their casino...lol! (Gambling is now legal)  Lots of happy memories :) :heart:
