Introduction
Ask anyone who's been there about West Virginia. It just takes one visit to fall in love with this wild and wonderful state. I fell in love with West Virginia on my first visit and I've been back more than a hundred times. If I don't end up moving there, I'll get back there as often as possible.
My father's side of the family has West Virginia roots and I can feel it in my blood every time I cross the state border from my home in Virginia. The West Virginia mountains and the proud people get in your blood and it's a very warm feeling.
The number of West Virginia lovers is growing quickly as word spreads about what the state has to offer. Visitors are drawn to incredible natural beauty, a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities, many historical attractions, an excellent state park system, friendly people, and a simpler and slower-paced way of life.
Coal may have once been king in the Mountaineer State, but tourists are now treated like royalty in West Virginia. Tourism is the second largest industry (behind chemicals) and the fastest-growing segment, as new and old visitors explore the state.
Convenient interstate routes in West Virginia make access easier than many drivers assume. The exploration possibilities are extensive, but all are within a one-day drive of half the population in the United States. The state's beauty is definitely worth the drive.
From friendly cities to rugged mountains, West Virginia is a welcome change. Each region offers its own outdoor and indoor pleasures, but the entire state definitely deserves the nickname, "Almost Heaven."

The Eastern Panhandle
Washington, D.C.dwellers love the eastern panhandle ofWest Virginia. It's close to the urban hubbub, but it's another world for visitors.
The Harpers Ferry National Historic Park provides a perfect introduction to the historical richness of the state. Situated at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Harpers Ferry became an important industrialized transportation hub and arms-producing town in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The town came to national prominence in 1859 as the setting of abolitionist John Brown's attempt to liberate slaves through violence. Brown was captured and eventually hanged.
