Hidden In The Hills Near Matewan, A Town Museum Tells The Story Of The 1920 Mine War Shootout

Bullet holes from a 1920 shootout still mark the brick walls of one small West Virginia town. They are real, they are still there, and you can walk right up to them. A few steps away, a tiny nonprofit museum explains how those marks got there. It covers striking coal miners, hired company detectives, and a showdown on a spring day that changed American labor history.

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.
