Be prepared for lazy, porch swing evenings while learning the colorful and exciting history of your hosts. Pence Springs Hotel, located in Summers County, boasts country inn lodging at its finest. Formerly known as the Grand Hotel, this is one of the historic old mineral spas of the Virginias. Considered a premier retreat during the "Roaring Twenties", guests were lured by the award winning mineral water and peaceful country atmosphere. After closing during the Great Depression, the hotel has been used over the years as a girls' school, a dude ranch, and as a state prison for women. The upper portion of the hotel remains undisturbed and contains jail cells and markings from past prisoners. The Glen Ferris Inn, once a stagecoach stop, survived the Revolutionary War and industrialization and the railroad took over stagecoach travel. Overlooking the Kanawha Falls, this quaint inn provides a peaceful getaway.

*This is article one.* *Click here for article two* West Virginia Court Says School Board Blocked Citizen Participation Rural Policy Matters July 2002 Rural School and Community Trust West Virginians who support small schools won another court victory in June when a Raleigh County circuit judge blocked the closing of Marsh Fork High School, concluding that the county's ten-year planning process was flawed. Judge H. L. Kirkpatrick III said Marsh Fork residents were denied "basic fairness" because they were not included on the committee "vested with the responsibility of researching and compiling the data ultimately expanded upon and utilized as justification for the closure of their own high school." "It's not surprising that these people feel disaffected and alienated from a local board that, from all outward appearances, seems to ignore them," Kirkpatrick said. "Equal representation is a fundamental principle of democracy." Attorneys for the school board were unable to identify members of the county's Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP) committee or say how many people served on it, stating only that the committee was "fluid."
