Country Cooking

There’s nothing like a homestyle meal. Filled with old- fashioned hot dog stands, dairy drive-ins, and classic diners, Marion County’s dining scene takes you back to a simpler time.

There’s the Dairy Creme Corner, with cones stacked with giant swirls of ice cream. The Poky Dot diner, still adorned in its original 50s style with burgers ‘n shakes. Or Yann’s Hot Dog Stand, where folks line the streets hoping for a taste of those franks (and you’d better not ask for any Pepperoni Rolls ketchup!).

Some of our Italian restaurants have been around for decades. Muriale’s and Colassesano’s still whip up old Appalachian History family recipes, too! West Virginia was birthed from battles of the Civil War and still wears its scars.

While agriculture remained strong, coal boomed. Play your way through icons of this vital industry at Coal Country Mini Golf, then learn more about it at the on-site mining museum.

Of course, the Marion County Historical Society Museum is full of history and artifacts from every era and industry, too.
