  • Summary

  • Around & About the Clarksburg History Museum is an oral history project brought to life through a podcast. Hosted by Martha Jett, a Clarksburg, West Virginia and Harrison County historian, every episode features a topic related to history from our Jewel of the Hills (Clarksburg). Since history is rarely isolated, some stories reach beyond the county seat and into the county; some stories will feature events from our surrounding counties.
