The Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History & Education in Shepherdstown recently hosted an open house to introduce new leadership, with Zach Dougherty appointed as the new director. The event highlights the center’s commitment to fostering youth political engagement, a focus Dougherty aims to continue, following the departure of founding director Ray Smock and others to new opportunities. This initiative not only reinforces the historic importance of the center but also supports the community's efforts in civic education and involvement, as noted by the West Virginia Press Association.
