The calm before the storm

OAK HILL, WV (WOAY) – It was a cold start to the morning around the region, as temperatures were around the 40-degree mark. This afternoon, we’ll still need a windbreaker, as the winds will be gusty out of the northwest at times, and that will make it feel a little cooler than the highs in the mid-to-upper-50s.

Appalachian Country Store serves as a one-stop shop for all things local

PETERSTOWN- Just off of Route 219 in Peterstown, sits an 80 by 80 foot building up on the top of a rolling green hillside. Built by a local, one can tell that this barn-like structure is new. The deep red paint on the outside is far from chipping stage, and there is no wear and tear yet anywhere. However, when one walks inside, the atmosphere makes it feel like this town hub has been here for decades on end. Upon entering Appalachian Country Store, the customer is immediately immersed in the community. Shelves are stacked with homemade pumpkin bread, pepperoni rolls, pastries and more. Fridges full of local dairy and high-quality meats line the walls, and friendly local staff are hard at work in the back kitchen, ringing up customers, or making sandwiches at the Deli. Jeff Miller, owner, tells WVDN how the place first got started. Originally from a large Amish community in Holmes County Ohio, Miller, also a minister, “moved with his little flock” to Monroe County WV, to escape growing congestion up north. In the process of moving, Miller sold his wood-working business and trusted in his faith in the Lord to find new purpose and be

Austinville, Wythe County: Chiswell’s Lead Mines, the American Revolution, and the Civil War

Appalachian Community Histories – Austinville, Wythe County: Chiswell’s Lead Mines, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. Along the New River in southwestern Virginia, the small community of Austinville occupies a place in American history far greater than its size might suggest. Long before the community acquired its present name, the surrounding hills contained one of the most important lead deposits in colonial America, providing a mineral that would become essential to frontier settlement, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. The mines helped sustain armies, attracted entrepreneurs and skilled laborers, and established an industrial settlement whose influence extended well beyond the mountains of Virginia.
