Lewisburg

Lewisburg is a town in the Ash Heap region of Appalachia.

Background
In the 21st century, Lewisburg was a mining town, though its unique welcoming atmosphere earned it the title of Coolest Small Town USA in 2061. Lewisburg engaged in initiatives such as rooftop gardens cultivating produce, flowers, and hair purity, art exhibitions at the local Serenity Road Art Gallery, and street festivals. Due to the poor air quality in the area, on some days, Lewisburg citizens had to utilize gas masks.

Prior to the Great War, Lewisburg's miners were striking along the southern section of the town. Voting was also taking place, as well as Halloween celebrations, which included stalls around the town and a live band. A train wreck can be seen on the southeastern side of the town, the cars stretching all the way to Big Bend Tunnel.

Some Lewisburg citizens survived and stayed in town after the Great War. The Spring Garden Festival was advertised along the main roadway, above trading stalls built to barter weapons, armor, and food. During one of these festivals, raiders decided to exploit their momentary distraction and hit the town, taking to the rooftops and gunning the inhabitants down.

A Cutthroat raider by the name of "Bleeding" Kate was looking to attract more customers from Lewisburg to her road cinema at the Grindhouse in the Forest. Kerry and his crew of raiders ambushed Natasha Hunt, a member of the Order of Mysteries, in Lewisburg. She managed to take down half of the crew and Kerry himself before dying to the raider band.

Layout
Lewisburg is a small town laid out in the shape of a square, with the two streets in the center dividing it into four neat quadrants. The northern two sectors flank a street where a festival was taking place, with stalls stretching all the way out to the northern end of the town.

Approaching from the west, Lewisburg's station can be seen on the first right and has a Responders vendor. The road continues past the train station and leads to Monongah power substation MZ-03 and Big Bend Tunnel West. The road left climbs upward and turns right, leading to a series of open-air shops. A concert area comprises the northeast corner of the town and provides access to Pleasant Hills Cemetery to the north. There is a cooking station at the northern end of the main street, in the food stall.

The other sector contains an art gallery on the northwestern corner and the visitors center in the southeast. The emergency exit in the courtyard grants access to the rooftops. The visitors center attic contains a steamer trunk. The back alleys have stairs leading up to the roofs, connected by sky bridges, and topped with greenhouses. These provide a source of fertilizer, ash roses, and access to the attic of the town hall, which contains another steamer chest. On the other end of the rooftops is another cooking station. Just southeast of the town, towards Big Bend Tunnel West, is a Bot-Stop, which is used in Bots on Parade. On the outskirts of the town there is Lake Reynolds, and the Hornwright air purifier site 02, which is part of the township.
