O'Hurley's General Store

West Virginia


Not quite bluegrass. Not quite Scottish. Let's just call it music you might hear on Outlander from a band of traveling minstrels. But whatever the tune is at the weekly Thursday night jam (7:30pm), it's engaging. Grab a seat and listen close to a variety of instruments and musicians. The rest of the week, the store sells old-time mountain crafts and wares.
