PLACES
Ah, the places you can see in Summers county are amazing.  An afternoon drive in any direction will always provide you with panoramic views, waterfalls, wild animal sightings and other delights.  Here are a few we have come across.  I will changes these from time to time to share other scenes with you.

                        A fantastic shot somewhere on Ramp Mountain. A.C. was the photographer for this photo.
                        When he traveled with me we had an agreement - He did not  tell me how to take the
                        pictures and I did not  tell him how to drive.  This worked just fine ...... most of the time.

                      Cooper's Mill off  Ellison Ridge Road is being restored under the stewardship of Jack Wills.
                      Built in 1869, it is the only remaining grist mill in Summers County.  The mill will soon be
                      operational and serve as a living history museum. To learn more about this project visit

                                                Where will you find this beautiful waterfall in Summers County? 
                                                Why, across the street from the Dairy Queen - home of the best
                                                hotdogs in the world. On the Route 3 and 20 by-pass near Hinton, 
                                                It is a" must " to visit.  Enjoy your hotdog while looking at these falls 
                                                or choose the lower dining room where you can sit and  watch the
                                                ducks, fishermen and canoers enjoying  life on New River.
