Welcome to the Artisans Trail Project for Southern West Virginia

This site is a developing guide to the artists and folk crafts of Wyoming County and the region. Much of what you discover here are traditional crafts taught from father to son, mother to daughter. Think of this as living history: included are bluegrass and mountain music, various folk art crafters, photographers, painters, writers, quilters,  gardeners, and more.  Below is a map that will be used to document all the quality artisans of the region.  If you are or know a local artisan, please contact Josh Fangmeier at (304) 294-6188 or jfangmeier@railwv.org.
