This week in The Hur Herald we'll take a peek at some of our favorite places in next
door Ritchie County, starting first with former boom town Cairo, which was first
settled in 1821.
We'll tour the re-opened (Since 1996) R. C. Marshall Hardware Store, circa 1902, and
what an emporium it is. You name it, it's there!

We'll also take a look at a 1940's-50's old fashioned ice cream parlor, a novelty shop
with pure West Virginia products, the old bank building (on the National Historical
Register) and a trek through famous "Tunnel 19" on the old B & O rail-trail.

Later in the Spring we will tour the new dam, the Ritchie Mines, North Bend Park and
some other Ritchie sites, which we hope you'll enjoy. If you are a Sunny Cal resident,
it's a grand one day trip to visit (in person) with our neighbors.
