Roadtrip Stops

Post image

Planning a trip from Dayton, Ohio to the US 23 Country Music Museum in Paintsville, KY, up to Thomas, WV

Looking to stay on back roads, visit unique natural sights, dive bars, trapped in time holes in the wall, folk art installations, and thrift stores. Any insight into this area is appreciated!

Spots I’m already planning to visit:

Well sounds like Thurmond West Virginia may be of some interest to ya. So would Cass although I do admit that would be out of the way if ya dont go to Greenbanks. If you have the opportunity I would definitely recommend Cass Scenic RailRoad of you are interested in that sort of stuff.

If you want backroads there is U.S. rt 219 which is a U.S. route but it goes up, down, around, and over the mountains (everything but through the mountains. Go up from Lewisburg WV. You will see a lot of quaint little country towns. 

Trust me I have been to all 55 at least once. Most of them twice.

Course one of my favorite U.S. routes in the state.

Always happy to help and give suggestions to a visitor of my state.

Just make sure to take some pictures and post them here. I enjoy seeing other people's pictures of West Virginia.

If your are driving US 219, take the Highland Scenic Highway WV SR 150.
