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.

West Virginia's Once-Thriving Historic Train Town Is Now A Hidden Gem In The New River Gorge

Thurmond, a historic town in West Virginia's New River Gorge, was once a bustling hub for the railroad and coal industry.

Its centuries-old brick buildings, abandoned coaling tower, and train depot serve as reminders of a once-thriving railroad and coal industry. Today, most of Thurmond is maintained by the National Park Service as a preserved historic site for visitors who are curious about its past.
