West Virginia is a melting pot of North and South, East and West, industrial development and agrarian lifestyles, ancient folkways and technological wonders. It is known for its spectacular mountains, swirling rivers, and scenic countryside that offer a welcome change of pace from the rush of everyday life. West Virginia has an impressive network of state parks, forests and wildlife management areas. More than 200,000 acres have been set aside to preserve regions of natural wonder, scenic beauty and historical significance.
West Virginia offers opportunities for unusual outings, such as riding a coal car into a ominous mine, viewing the world's largest stuffed horse at the West Virginia State Farm Museum, touring the West Virginia State Penitentiary to learn what it's like to live behind bars, and visiting the Lost World Caves where a man once sat on a stalagmite for 16 days.
