Discover Charleston West Virginia

There are many reasons why Charleston, West Virginia is an outstanding city. It's an area ripe in history, well-rooted in the forming of our nation. It is located in the only state formed as a result of the Civil War, and one of only two states formed through seceding from another (the other state that was formed this way is Vermont). As the capitol city of West Virginia, Charleston manages to be both on the cutting edge of political decision-making and a city of small-town charm. Charleston has much to offer, including numerous cultural activites, entertainment, education, superior medical care, and just plain fun. Whether your taste runs to the postcard-worthy beautiful architecture, or breathtaking views of the wide, meandering Kanawha River and rugged mountains beyond it, Charleston has something for you.Fine, Lawrence is the author of 'Discover Charleston West Virginia', published 2007 under ISBN 9781933817323 and ISBN 1933817321.
