The Stulting House in Hillsboro, West Virginia, is seen here during the early stages of total restoration. It is the maternal ancestral home of Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl Sydenstricker Buck who was born there in 1892. The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace was opened to the public on May 4, 1974 and will begin its 50th Anniversary Celebration during the 26th Annual Little Levels Heritage Fair in Hillsboro June 28-30, 2024. “My Mother’s House – A Dream Shared” is a two-part Preserving Pocahontas Exhibit in memory of Pearl S. Buck and Marie Leist. It will be on display in the birthplace museum through mid-October. (The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Collection; ID: PSB000249)
