Things To Do

When you visit Fayetteville, you’ll find a small town with a lot going on. It’s a great place to visit, on business or vacation- friendly folks, small town atmosphere, and world class thrills, right next door to the New River Gorge National River. Bring a taste for excitement and a desire to relax. We’ll do the rest.

History

The town of Fayetteville was established in 1837 when it became the Fayette County, West Virginia county seat. With a heritage that runs deep into the mountains, down into the coal mines and railroad towns of the New River Gorge, up to the sheer cliffs and hiking trails of the National Park, there’s a lot of history to be found in a visit to our town.

Around Town

Come visit, and take a walk around. You’ll find a vibrant shopping district and fantastic restaurants, windows to browse with lots to buy, and a lovely town park. Surrounded by great places to stay, from hotels near the New River Gorge Bridge to tucked away cabins and cozy bed and breakfasts, Fayetteville has it all.

Community

A blend of cultures help define and enrich our little place in the mountains. We’ve been named one of America’s Coolest Small Towns, but there’s a strong sense of tradition here, as well. Outdoor enthusiasts are just as likely to be bird watchers as they are bird dog trainers. Our artists are just as influenced by the adrenaline of the outdoors as they are by the ancient ways of the Appalachians. Here, you can experience both the old and new, folded together to create what’s best about Fayetteville- our community.
