Hidden In A Small West Virginia Town, A Five-Story Marble Courthouse Rivals Any Big-City Capitol
A county courthouse from the 1890s still handles everyday paperwork like vital records and vehicle registration. The building is old, but it is still working.

Hillsville mayor reelected after tough campaign
Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder won reelection by a substantial margin in the November 3, 2026, election. Incumbent Town Councilors Greg Yonce representing the Laurel Fork Ward and Barry Jessup of the Sulphur Springs Ward ran unopposed and also retained their seats on council. Mayor Crowder garnered 535 votes out of 949 ballots cast, while challenger Katie Horton received 315 votes and Andy Kaufman had 83. Sixteen ballots were cast for write-in candidates. “This was a really tough election,” said Crowder. “It was a brutal nonstop attack with half-truths, innuendos and borderline slander towards me and my family. There’s people that have been in politics their whole life and never seen nothing like it.” “I ran against former Mayor Bill Tate, who was a very honorable candidate and is actually a very good friend of mine now,” Crowder continued. “And I ran against Mrs. Taylor, the former mayor’s wife, and we basically ran on issues. We were able to shake hands after the election and I was hoping it would be the same with this race but I don’t think it’s going to be.” Greg Crowder was first elected in 2012. This election victory ushers in his 9th term as Mayor
