Planning Your Visit
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (now Weston Hospital) is one of America's most remarkable 19th-century institutional buildings and a popular paranormal tourism destination. Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park provides major water recreation on the reservoir created by damming the West Fork River.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a central West Virginia fair along the West Fork River.
A Closer Look
Weston is home to the Lewis County Fair, which celebrates a central West Virginia county where the Stonewall Jackson Lake reservoir and the remarkable Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum define two very different eras of county history — the asylum, now a National Historic Landmark and ghost tour attraction, was once the largest hand-cut stone building in America.
