WV Penitentiary
Dark tourism is such a popular genre, and West Virginia has loads of it. My newest attraction was the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville. Known in its day as one of the toughest prisons in the country, it became a newsworthy address due to overcrowding, unexplained deaths (the tour will baffle you this), & the death penalty (94 met that fate). Sad, scary, bewildering, informative, & gruesome are the words I found to describe the WV State Penitentiary.

Potomac Eagle Scenic Train Ride in Romney, WV
Take a fun and scenic train ride in Romney, West Virginia, aboard the Potomac Eagle. My train trip was through the trough for eagle sightings, but they also have a leaf peeping and holiday itinerary. Splurge for the full-service three-course meal car for the primo train ride experience. The food was really good and the service, impressive. Reserve early; they sell out quick.
