West Virginia is a state full of people proud to call themselves Mountaineers. We are proud of our culture, heritage and tradition. We come together, no matter our differences, in times of need. Defining the state that I love in a group of photos wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. There are so many amazing things I’d love to share with the world about the state I proudly call home.
