This page is a growing digital archive dedicated to the history of Whitcomb, North Caldwell, and Caldwell, West Virginia—a project born from the lifelong passion of local historian Thomas C. Drumheller.

Ever since he was young, Thomas has been fascinated by the stories, people, and places that shaped his hometown of Caldwell. Over the past 18+ years, he has tirelessly researched the region—digging through records, gathering photographs, and collecting firsthand accounts to preserve what might otherwise be lost to time.

Frustrated by the lack of a single, reliable resource on the area’s past, Thomas set out to create one. This site brings together decades of local history—curated for residents, researchers, and anyone curious about the heritage of Greenbrier County. From the 1700s to today, you'll find a wealth of information, rare images, and meaningful insights into how these Appalachian towns have evolved.

Please note that this is an ongoing project. New content is regularly added and existing information updated as more discoveries come to light. Every image and fact is footnoted and credited to its original source out of respect for the individuals and institutions that helped preserve these memories.

We hope you find this site both useful and inspiring as you explore the rich, shared history of Whitcomb, North Caldwell, and Caldwell, WV.
