About Mingo County Fair
The Mingo County Fair in Williamson celebrates "the heart of the Hatfield-McCoy Country" — the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River separating West Virginia from Kentucky was the setting of America's most famous family feud, and today the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System's ATV trails have transformed the former coalfield into a major outdoor recreation destination.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Tug Fork valley communities with deep coal mining, labor, and Hatfield-McCoy heritage.
Visitor Tips
Williamson's Coal House — built entirely from blocks of coal — is one of Appalachia's most distinctive buildings. The Hatfield-McCoy Trails welcome thousands of ATV riders annually, and the Tug Fork River's Kentucky-West Virginia borderline setting gives the county a distinctive geographic character.
