The first annual New River Barn Fall Festival and Campout combines fun for all with support for a good cause! With FREE admission, this event is run by volunteers and sponsored by Mountain Mermaids Collective, a non-profit that supports local arts programs. Our goal for the Fall Festival is to have a great time while raising money to fund a scholarship to the ArtMart Academy in Boone. To reach our goal, we will race rubber ducks on the New River, listen to live music by The Sheets Family Band, make and appreciate art, watch movies in the barn, eat and drink, and camp out. We sure hope to see you there.

The Greenbriar Ghost: The Unquiet Grave and the Facts Behind the Legend
Greenbrier County, West Virginia – 1897. A man is convicted of murdering his wife based on the testimony of her ghost. New York Times bestselling author Sharyn McCrumb thoroughly researched this true story, heretofore told as a folktale. Using a century of documents, including birth certificates, death certificates, census records, and newspaper articles, she pieced together a chronicle of events. Told from the point of view of the young African American attorney who second-chaired the defense, The Unquiet Grave brings to life the family, the lawyers, and the townspeople caught up in the tragedy.
Books will be available for purchase and to have signed. The event is free with paid admission to the museum.

Romare Bearden: My Friend
