Folk Music of the Southern West Virginia Coalfields
About This National Coal Heritage Area (NCHA)-Funded Project
Coal and coal-related activities are often the first things that come to mind when thinking about the history of southern West Virginia. Coal played such a part in the history of the area that the counties of Logan, Mingo, Lincoln, Boone, Wyoming, McDowell, Wayne, Fayette, Mercer, Cabell, Nicholas, Summers, and Kanawha are often simply referred to as the southern WV coalfields–as if nothing else ever occurred there.
