Less than one mile away is the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

It offers excursions that transport you back in time and let you relive an era when steam-powered locomotives were an essential part of everyday life in the logging community of Cass, WV.

Seven miles away is the National Radio Astronomy Observatory with daily tours and a new visitor center.

It is the world's largest fully steerable single aperture antenna. Several other radio telescopes are located on the grounds, as well as the brand new visitor's center.

Ten miles west is Snowshoe Mountain Resort, a year round facility offering skiing in the winter and golf in the summer.

This very active, year-round resort comes complete with fine dining, golf, swimming, and summer events such as classical music concerts, wine and jazz fastivals, and even motorcycle rallies.
