Marion County - Frontier forts, river junctions, waterfalls, and a snack legend with statewide fame
All 55: A West Virginia Road Trip by Tom Mullins
Episode notes
This road-trip episode explores Marion County, West Virginia, with stops around
Fairmont, Mannington, and White Hall; landmarks including Prickett's Fort State Park and
Valley Falls State Park on the Tygart Valley River; and the county's signature story,
the 1927 invention of the pepperoni roll at Fairmont's Country Club Bakery, still
celebrated each Memorial Day weekend at the Three Rivers Festival. The route favors
parks, history, rivers, towns, and traditions over time-sensitive businesses.
