​Come with MCPARC to the mountains of historic Pocahontas County. The scenery of the Appalachian Mountain is exquisite, the people authentic and friendly with a culture rich in tradition in music and storytelling. Our amazing day will include:
Lunch and tour of the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Museum
​ 
Take a step back in me and explore the life of the woman who wrote the ground breaking novel “The Good Earth” and became the first woman to win both the Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize.
Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park, the site of West Virginia’s last significant Civil War battle
​
Whether you come to browse the museum, peer over the valley from the lookout tower, or probe the ghost tales in person, you will find Droop Mountain exciting and educational.
The Cranberry Glades Nature Center and Botanical Area

A half-mile boardwalk has been constructed through the bogs so you can experience the area without disturbing this fragile community. The plant and animal life here is similar to that found in the bogs or “Muskegs” of the North.
Dinner at the Greenbrier Grill in Marlinton,WV

​Entertainment will be provided by the Juanita Fireball & the Continental Drifters band. They play Appalachian string band tunes, many of which they learned from old-timers in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.
The cost for this delightful day trip will be $138 and will include the round trip bus ride, lunch, dinner with entertainment, admissions to the above listed activities and Step-on Guide service.
