It’s not so hard to imagine the hustle and bustle of life in this historic Appalachian railroad town at the peak of North-Central West Virginia’s coal and glass industries. In the mid-1800s, the B&O Railroad completed the first trans-Appalachian line through Grafton, and the sleepy backwater along the Tygart River was transformed within a year into an economic boomtown. During the Civil War, Union and Confederate forces fought for control of Grafton’s strategic railroad juncture, which was critical to the Union’s logistical movement of troops and supplies. After the war and through the first half of the 20th Century, growth and prosperity continued, and the town was gifted with two magnificent Beaux Arts edifices to cater to a steady stream of visitors: the B&O Railroad Station and the Willard Hotel. The town also hosted the first Mother’s Day celebration, now commemorated by the International Mother’s Day Shrine. But nothing lasts forever, and with the decline of the area’s coal and glass industries, so too has Grafton seen it’s best days get behind it. But I’m a railroad and history buff, and I admire this town’s noble decrepitude - like that of almost every other Appalachian town whose bittersweet contributions to the making of America seem increasingly lost to history.
