Breweries
Born from the desire to create quality craft beer with clean Appalachian water, Mountain State Brewery and Stumptown Ales are the antithesis of micro-breweries in West Virginia. The breweries are conveniently located two miles from each other in Thomas and Davis, making tastings an all afternoon affair.
Distilleries
Distilled spirits or homemade wine are not new, as mountain folk have been practicing the craft for generations. Today, the craft is legal and refined as two distilleries and a mead winery bring the taste and smells to you. Set up a tour along with samplings from the men and women creating West Virginia’s native spirits.
Arts, Culture & History
Music
Music representative of Appalachia and an attitude toward Tucker County living can be found weekly at one of our small venues or annual music festivals. From Canaan Valley to Parsons, WV live music has become a constant part of the fabric making up the character of our communities.
History
Tucker County’s story began slowly when farmers and trappers were bold enough to venture into daunting rugged terrain. As time moved on coal and timber became the economic driver, and relics are found on display today in Davis and Thomas. The Civil War also found itself front and center at Corricks Ford in Parsons, WV where informative signage and walking paths take you back in time.
Arts in Tucker County
When looking for original creativity and a true community of artists, look no further than the town of Thomas. This hotbed has been making waves for over a decade and the storefronts of Front Street are now dominated by contemporary and traditional art galleries along with stops in Davis, WV. Each spring Art Spring takes over Memorial Day Weekend throughout the county in celebration of imagination.
