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. Hidden within the rocky valleys of the New River Gorge, one of the most breathtaking national parks on the East Coast, the town of Thurmond feels like a place that has been frozen in time. 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.

More than 6,000 artifacts sit behind these doors, and nobody asks you for a single dollar to see them. That alone made me look twice. The route starts with coal forests from millions of years ago. Then it marches you forward through time, with the years marked right on the floor beneath your feet.
