An elevated view of Thurmond, West Virginia and the New River Gorge, visible from Concho Rim Overlook on the edge of New River Gorge National Park. Historic structures of this Appalachian ghost town are visible from this vantage point, 1,400 above the New River.
Thurmond is a famous railroad and mining ghost town along the former C&O through New River Gorge National Park. As of 2022, Thurmond had a population of only 3 residents, with several historic buildings and artifacts still standing from the C&O steam era. During the coal mining peak of the early 20th Century, Thurmond produced the largest revenue on the C&O, and had the richest banks of West Virginia. The surviving structures are just a shell of what once existed here, and serve as a quiet reminder of Thurmond's past and West Virginia's Appalachian heritage.
