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.

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. Its stone walls rise above a narrow mountain downtown, and its tower can look almost out of place there. I like how a coalfield county built something this bold for a town tucked between steep ridges.
