  • View from Hawks Nest Overlook. Near Ansted, West Virginia. The construction of the Hawks Nest tunnel nearby to support the hydroelectric dam below the overlook in the 1930's resulted in one of the worst industrial disasters in the nation's history, with large scale silicosis killing hundreds of the workers who worked to build it.

  • Among the thousands of commuters who pass daily over D.C.’s Chain Bridge, some may wonder; just where are the chains? <br />
<br />
The chains haven’t been around since the actual chain-suspension bridge from which the name originated was overcome by storms and flooding in 1840, yet the name has stuck to every new bridge built to replace it since. But that is just one piece of Chain Bridge’s rich history. The span over which Chain Bridge is built is one of the oldest crossing routes in the vicinity of the capital. In fact, the wood covered bridge that was built here in 1797 was the very first bridge to span the Potomac River. This cycle of bridges being created and destroyed by the elements continued up to the Civil War, when the sixth chain bridge (a crossbeam truss design with no chains) played a vital role in the supply and movement of Union army encampments throughout fairfax county. Because of its close proximity to the capital, the bridge was heavily guarded by sentries and artillery throughout the war. While today’s (eighth and final, so far) chain bridge was built in 1939, it stands on the stone piers of the seventh chain bridge built shortly after the civil war in the early 1870’s.

  • Mt Hope is a former mining town that was a premier destination for Fayette County from its formation in the 1890's to its chartering in the 1920s and beyond. Unlike many other mining towns throughout the state where only a company general store was allowed, Mt. Hope grew independently, with its main street teeming with restaurants, theaters, hotels, shopping boutiques and more. However, as the decades wore on economic realities began taking their toll, with major employers such as the New River coal company shutting down (the local siltex mine just outside of town was one of the last mines in operation, and was also the site of a mining accident in 1966 that killed seven workers). leading to a steady decline for the once prosperous town. Now, of the dozens of buildings lining main street, only a handful have businesses occupying them. The town of 1,400 has no more than two eateries, a local Italian restaurant and an Italian chain further down the street. The local high school was demolished, with students now going to school in nearby Oak Hill or Beckley. Even places of basic employment are shutting down, with a local family dollar shutting its doors a short while ago.
