There are some great Christmas towns in West Virginia, many of which feature iconic scenes straight out of something warm and homey like a Norman Rockwell painting. One of the best, for the last weekend in November and the first weekend of December at least, is the town of Beckley. That’s because the ever-popular Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, which is typically closed for the winter season, reopens. And not only does it reopen, but it also reopens transformed by the magic of Christmas – Appalachian Coal Town Christmas, to be precise. It’s the classic West Virginia Christmas town.
