If you're planning a drive through southern West Virginia, stop in at Camp Washington Carver, former 4-H Camp. Near Clifftop, Fayette County, WV
The Great Chestnut Lodge, a log building of unusual size and structural character, made entirely of American Chestnut. Built in 1941-42. The 4-H Camp was established by the West Virginia Legislature in 1937.
