Name of the Town  

Rowlesburg is a former railroad town along the Cheat River in Preston County, West Virginia. 

It was incorporated as a town in 1858 and named for Thomas Rowle, a railroad engineer.


Nature and History

Rowlesburg is tucked away in the Cheat River Valley surrounded by majestic hills, rising on all sides from the banks of the beautiful Cheat River. October is Autumn Glory month. In 2005, the Downtown Rowlesburg Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.


All Year Round!

Rowlesburg is known for its festivals, Civil War and railroad history, outdoor activities, antiques, dinners & dances. It has become a tourist destination. Travelers come from across the U.S. to raft and fish the “wild and wonderful” Cheat River for Rainbow Trout and Bass.

PRESTON COUNTY, WV

West Virginians Are The Friendliest People. You could say that the mountains act as a protective wall between the outside world and West Virginia's small-town communities. And, because of this, the people in West Virginia have a strong sense of community.
