The all-volunteer board of directors, has issued the following release:
The Jubilee will continue a celebration of Appalachian Heritage at Jackson’s Mill West Virginia. Located just North of Weston off State Route 19, this festive occasion takes place on the beautiful rolling farmland of Lewis County, which was once home to Confederate Civil War General Stonewall Jackson.
This year promises to be bigger and better than ever featuring demonstrations of Heritage Arts and Crafts and Music that are both educational and entertaining. There will be Indigenous and Bluegrass Music concerts, Native American Style Dancing, Chainsaw Carving, Gristmill Grinding, Homestead Activities, West Virginia and Heritage Photography displays, Needlecraft and Quilt Shows, Antique Tractor and Engine exhibits, Civil War Encampments, Horse Drawn Carriage Rides, and over 90-Top Quality Artisans and Crafters will have their products on sale.

For the young at heart, in Kids Land you can Climb The Wall, learn how to Mine for Gemstones, get your Face Painted, listen to a professional Story Teller, or create your own Sand Art project among a host of ‘fun things’ to do.
