September Insta-greats

With September came some of the first signs of fall in the Mountain State— cool, crisp evenings, hints of yellows and oranges in the trees, and some of our very favorite fall events (Don’t worry, Gauley Season carries on well into October!)

Here are some #GoToWV highlights from September:

1. Live music at sunset

Beautiful evening in a beautiful city. StreetFest says farewell to summer #cwv #gotowv #charlestonwv

3. Small-town charm, Beverly

Over the years, I've driven by this old bank in Beverly, West Virginia, more times than I could possibly count. It's always been a favorite for its old-timey vibe. Anyone know what architectural style this is?
