HIGH IN THE SKY VIEW OF GRANTSVILLE - Bend Of The Little Kanawha River

(02/23/2026)
2007 Photos

Flyin' man Harry Simmons, a former Calhoun resident said, "You really understand that we live in the backwoods, sometimes as far as the eye can see, only woods, hills and hollers. It sure offers a different view."

Simmons, who was flying his open-aired flyer photographed Calhoun from the air, and offered several different views of Grantsville.
