Alderson W.V. (Beckley, Lewisburg, White Sulphur Springs: home, work, hospital)

[onthemovetowv]

Anyone know anything interesting about Alderson WV other than Martha Stewart and the FPC?

[snorpus]

It's a very pretty part of West Virginia, along the lower end of the Greenbrier River. I'd describe the area as more hilly than mountainous. Kind of "out of the way", but not too far (half an hour) from Lewisburg and White Sulphur Springs.

The area is generally rural, mostly farms with perhaps some logging.

It's another dying railroad town like Ronceverte. It's good days are in the past.

Alderson isn't dying but it is just filled with retirees because of the river flowing through it and beauty but the good days are just July 1st thru 4th with the WV 4th celebration held there each year...Lewisburg 15min away on the otherhand is a really nice small town that also has the greenbrier river...Martha Stewart did stay at the correctional facility and many people that work there said she was the nicest person in the facility every single day.

Alderson is a lovely small town (1500) along the Greenbier River, (the last free-flowing river in WV) Home prices lower than average, close to Beckley and Roanoke, good roads and close to air and RR. Little or no air or noise pollution, close (15 mi.) to good hospital and abt 100 physicians). Very little class distinction (too small). A native of Va. I live here because I love the town and area
