Dining at the Bavarian Inn
tour. Another unique small town you don’t
want to miss is Fayetteville. In Fayetteville
you’ll find a vibrant shopping district and
fantastic restaurants, windows to browse
with lots to buy, and a lovely town park.
With an interesting restaurant scene,
Fayetteville is always a good place to stop for
lunch or dinner. As you drive through
Welch, enjoy the murals painted by local
artist Tom Acosta, and stop at an interpretive
wayside exhibit beside the McDowell County
Courthouse where you can learn about
Smilin’ Sid Hatfield’s last stop.
While you are here, make time to tour the
Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, hike the
trails, float the rivers, experience the beauty
of the New River Gorge and enjoy all of the
adventures southern West Virginia has to
offer.
