Lowe was nominated by the Wirt County Historical Society. Lowe has made a significant difference in preserving and sharing the state's rich history. For more than 25 years he has been a supporter of the Beauchamp-Newman Museum, and oversaw a major fundraising project in 2011 and spear-headed a project to obtain a security system for the museum. He prepared a photo book "Images of America-Wirt County" in 2010, still available. Lowe coordinated a ceremony to mark the centennial of the Wirt courthouse. He has also worked to establish a historical house museum in the McClung House. See   IMAGES OF AMERICA - Wirt Photo Book Honors Stalwart River Settlers
