What would you say about a tour that includes a “stolen pig” dinner and also lunch at the fabulous Greenbrier Resort? I would call it a tour I can’t wait to sign up for and you would be right.

Day 2 – This morning you first tour the Blenko Glass Factory one of the last producers of hand blown glass in America. Then you travel south into the coalfields. You will learn about the Matewan Massacre which occurred during a labor dispute in 1920. Miners here, who had joined the newly formed UMW, were being fired and evicted from their company owned homes. It was a hostile atmosphere with mines owners hiring mercenary guards which led to shootings. Coal miners from across West Virginia tied red bandanas around there necks and marched to Matewan in support. It was from this March, and those bandanas, that the phrase “Redneck” was first coined. It may also surprise you to know that the Matewan Chief of Police was one Sid Hatfield, a descendant of the Hatfields involved in the bitter feudal rivalry that occurred between 1878 and 1891.

Hatfield and Rose Anne McCoy fell in love, the site of the Hog Trial; see the grave of Johnse and Rose Anne’s child; visit the location of the New Year’s Massacre; walk the Paw Paw Patch where the McCoy boys were executed.

This secret facility existed for 30 years, in plain sight, yet hidden from both hotel employees and guests.
