“Fayetteville, a mountain town of about 3,000 citizens, perched within hailing distance of the New River Gorge, was selected in 2006 for inclusion in Budget Travel magazine’s “Top 10 Coolest Small Towns in America.” (Requote from The Charleston Gazette)
It’s true! Fayetteville has a thriving art and music culture like no other small town.” Murals adorn downtown buildings, a wide variety of top-notch musicians play at local bars and eateries, and art classes are available to every skill level.
