Buckhannon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the center of West Virginia is small-town Buckhannon. Small, as in the local population and how quickly you can get around, but not to be confused with a boring po-dunk town. To West Virginia, Buckhannon is known as a vibrant downtown with loads of atmosphere. There\u2019s an emerging arts district with public art popping up in unexpected places and, surprisingly, a number of options for top-quality food joints.<\/p>\n

Buckhannon\u2019s Main Street pumps with atmosphere\u2013downtown shoppes line the street with colorful flags, and window displays welcome you to walk in to the boutiques. Spring and summer time are highlights, seeing nearly every street corner overflowing with flowers. And while this town is the classic, charming USA MainStreets, one end of the town is quickly becoming the funky, artistic scene. Places like Trader\u2019s Alley have murals and a painted walkway. Tucked around the corner is Lascaux Micro-Theater that premieres showings like the Manhattan Film Festival and other artistic cinema. The Blaxxmith Shop and The Infamous Art Gallery have interactive art exhibits and events each week. It\u2019s common to see a gathering of artists on the corner, prepping for the town\u2019s next event.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see how the arts are appreciated throughout the town\u2013the local city purchased a Main Street building and restored it into the Colonial Arts Center\u2013a hub for performances, theater, exhibition space and workshops. Recent productions include \u201cClue: Live On Stage\u201dand\u201c A 1940s Radio Christmas Carol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckhannon\u2019s creativity flows into the restaurants, too. Local\u2013and yes, it\u2019s all certainly local\u2013as Laura Meadows, director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau says,\u201cBuckhannon is proud to have our own people own the restaurants; we don\u2019t have many chain restaurants and we like it that way.\u201d Eating local means finding places like Fish Hawk Acres, that\u2019s famous for Teresa\u2019s biscuits, focaccia bread, and sunny windows. Fish Hawk serves more than meals\u2013the downtown spot has first-class private dining experiences; the retail market, called The Coop, plus welcomes guests into the kitchen for some interactive cooking classes.<\/p>\n

When a caffeine boost is needed, a favorite is Stone Tower Brews that has top selections of West Virginia craft beer on tap and creates specialty coffee blends. For one of the best burgers, the unassuming Whistle Stop Bar and Grill might not look like much, but serves up amazing burger creations like \u201cThe Caboose\u201d and the \u201cAlmost Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Buckhannon is most known for its downtown vibes, the wild and wonderful side of West Virginia can be seen surrounding the town. Trail networks have become a priority for places like Upshur County Trails, with 10+ miles of trails for mountain bikers and hikers. Local trail makers like to say the wooded network is \u201cmade by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers.\u201d More scenic trails and experiences are found at the West Virginia Wildlife Center. An immersive experience, guests can walk through the wooded forest of West Virginia to see the state\u2019s native animals in natural enclosures. Overnight camp spots at Audra State Park are along the Middle Fork River, where the scenes and sounds of the flowing river can\u2019t be beat.<\/p>\n

West Virginia is an emerging top destination. The locals have long known the hidden gems\u2013the scenic rolling hills, the winter mountains lined with ski slopes, the wide-open forests, and the small towns dotting the state with true Appalachian culture. In a time when everyone is searching for a new getaway, choosing Buckhannon is worth a shot.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
