I was born in Mabscott WV and visited everywhere I say in this video. I am an engineer and worked 44 years in the coal industry. I live in CO now. I appreciated your film. It brought back many memories. Thank you, Earl Quesenberry

You're welcome...we're glad you enjoyed it.

The post office was open until the mid 90's. The only reason it shut down was because the postmaster "Bigboy" passed away. I grew up in Thurmond and left there in 1989. I remember the bank being open when I was young. It was eventually turned into a restaurant called the Bankers Club for the increasing amount of tourists & whitewater rafters.

Thanks for the first hand information and thanks for watching our story about your home town!

I remember shopping at the old Pugh store and going to the river rat inn. Before the white water unlimited came there.

Believe it or not there was a medal of honor winner who came from Thurmond. His name was Charles Rogers. He attended a black school in Mount Hope called Dubois. There is a bridge in the Chimney Corner area of Fayette County that is named after him.
