2013 Guides are HERE!

2013 Midland Trail Official
Destination Guide

Midland Trail Scenic Highway Association (MTSHA) has just released the 2013 Official Midland Trail Destination Guide, which tells the history of the towns along the Midland Trail/U.S. Route 60 and offers tips about activities, events, and places of interest for all ages. 

This year’s cover art, Laid to Rest by Beth Crowder, commemorates Cedar Grove’s Virginia’s Chapel (c.1853) Slave Cemetery and will be featured as part of an interpretive wayside exhibit depicting Cedar Grove/Midland Trail history slated for completion later this year. 

“The Midland Trail really has something for everyone,” says Alice Hypes, Executive Director of MTSHA. “Route 60 is the most direct route to the outdoor adventure, sports, and relaxation offered in West Virginia’s rivers, lakes, gorges, forests, and streams. It’s also the perfect way to explore Revolutionary, Civil War, and industrial history.” Midland Trail is home to various summer and fall festivals, as well as living history and Civil War Sesquicentennial events, many of which are listed in the Destination Guide. 

The Midland Trail Destination Guide has recently been listed in Better Homes and Gardens, Traditional Home, Oprah, American Roads, and WV Living.
