Almost Heaven, West Virginia. The words of John Denver's 1971 song and the theme for a 2024 Costumer's Retreat for vintage and historical costuming. In this video I take you along on my journey for the site visits to The Greenbrier and the Cass Scenic Railroad. Watch the event take form for a group of costumers wearing fashion from the vintage and historical eras of The Greenbrier and the Cass Scenic Railroad - 1950s, 1940s, 1930s, 1920s, 1910s, 1900s, and Victorian and 18th century.
