Whipple Company Store

Whipple, WV

Built in the 1890s, this unusual coal-company store once served the surrounding mining community and later operated as a museum interpreting company-town life. The museum closed and the building was sold to a private owner in 2018, so OddWay travelers should only view the exterior from the public road unless a new authorized access program is announced.
