Blue Ridge Country January/February 2021 - 74

EVERY MILE IS A HISTORIC ADVENTURE

T

he National Coal Heritage Area juxtaposes
scenes of early West Virginia coal mining
against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery.
Covering over 6,000 square miles in southern West
Virginia, the area features back roads and small
towns that are all a reminder of another era, when
coal was king. More than 100 years ago, thousands
of families moved from across the world and from
small farms in the south to create a new life. Their
lives changed overnight, as did the look and feel of
this mountain wilderness.
Today, the picturesque beauty of the National
Coal Heritage Area makes it difficult to visualize

the rural industrial world of a different time. Towns
like Matewan, Fayetteville, Mount Hope, Logan,
Williamson, and Welch are lasting reminders of
a day when money flowed from the coalfields.
Plan a visit to the beautifully preserved Town of
Bramwell, the Princeton Railroad Museum, the
John Henry Historical Park, the WV Mine Wars
Museum in historic Matewan, or enjoy a trip down
the Paint Creek Scenic Byway. No matter where
you go, you will encounter friendly people, unique
small towns, beautiful scenery, and fascinating
history. Come visit us and experience the people,
places, and events that built a nation.
