B. BEVERLY - Beverly is a hidden treasure of history in Tygart Valley. One of the first settlements west of Alleghenies, Beverly dates back to the era of the American Revolutionary War. By the time crucial Civil War battles were fought nearby in 1861, Beverly was an established county seat and crossroads. The rise of nearby Elkins at the end of the 19th Century left Beverly largely unaffected by later development. As a result, Beverly preserves a unique look into an earlier time.

C. HELVETIA - This isolated community in a high mountain valley was settled by Swiss and German settlers starting in 1869 and many of their descendants remain. Today, the village is known for maintaining Swiss traditions, festivals, food, and folkways.

Points of Interest

A. ELKINS - The City of Elkins was developed by U.S. Senators Henry G. Davis and Stephen B. Elkins. The two founders developed railroad lines, coal mines, and timbering businesses. They built the West Virginia Central and Pittsburg Railway into Elkins in 1889. After an intense county seat war with nearby Beverly, Elkins became the county seat at the end of the 19th century. Today, Elkins continues to shine as the business and cultural hub of Randolph County.

A

B

C

G

E. MONTROSE - Montrose was incorporated in 1895 and named because of the large amount of wild roses found growing while the West Virginia Central Railroad was being constructed. Even though the railroad tracks are no longer there, you can travel that same route today by walking, biking, horseback riding, or even cross-country skiing on the Allegheny Highlands trail.

F. COALTON - Coalton was incorporated in 1895 as the town of Womelsdorf in honor of O.C. Womelsdorf, the first coal mine operator in the community. The current name of Coalton was given to the community due to the local mining operations.

E

H. MILL CREEK - Mill Creek is a community in Randolph County that was incorporated in 1903 and named for a mill operated on Mill Creek near the mouth of the Tygart Valley River. Mill Creek is home to the second largest high school in the county. The Tygart Valley Homestead, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, was developed by farmers, miners, and lumber workers in 1935 during the Great Depression. These rural homestead settlements are still lived in as private family homes.

D

D. PICKENS - Located in the remote forests of Randolph County, Pickens was founded in the 1890s. The town has the distinction of being the wettest place in West Virginia receiving more than 66 inches of precipitation yearly, much of it in snowfall. Pickens is also home of the West Virginia Maple Syrup Festival.

H

I. HUTTONSVILLE - This community is named for the Hutton family, who settled in the southern Tygart Valley. The Huttonsville Correctional Center, Kumbrabow State Forest, and Tygarts Valley Church are all located here. The historic Presbyterian church was built in 1883 and was place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
