💙💛Happy West Virginia Day! 💙💛
Today we celebrate the wild and wonderful beauty of our Mountain State—and there's no better place to soak it all in than right here in Monroe County.

From the rolling hills of Town of Peterstown and Gap Mills to the peaceful waters of Moncove Lake, Monroe County offers the perfect blend of adventure, heritage, and hometown charm.

🏞️ Hike to the top of Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory (the observatory is closed, but the hike is still worth it!)

🧀 Snack and shop at local favorites like The Cheese N' More StoreThe Old Gap Mills Country Store , The Dough Ball LLC , and Way Up Acres Marketplace and Lodging

🍷 Sip something smooth at Old World Libations

🥪 Grab your favorites at Linden Deli + More, Mountain Mama's BBQ, Fiesta Mexicana, Hometown Restaurant or Shawnitta's Diner

⛳ Hit the green at Fountain Springs Golf Course in Peterstown and enjoy a bite at The Sandtrap Café

🍽️ In Union, stop by Kalico Kitchen , MOCO DINER Diner, The Knook, Queen’s Pizza, and don’t forget Kittles Hardware and Supply for your last-minute needs.

🌿 Rain got your grass growing? Land & Lawn has your back—where you might just run into a farmer grabbing parts for the hayfield.

🚜 Speaking of hay, keep an eye out for tractors as farmers make hay for the winter. Take the scenic route on Rt. 219, Rt. 3, Rt. 122, Rt. 12, and all the winding roads in between—every turn tells a story.

🚗 Coming from Greenbrier County? Before you head back, make a pit stop at Pickaway Pickins Restaurant, Antiques & Moreand fuel up at the Pickaway Store, get a coffee at The Hunkerdown

🏕️ Camp under the stars or explore the charming small-town shops of Union and Peterstown.

Whether you’re planning your next getaway or just want to slow down and take in the view, Monroe County is West Virginia at its finest.
