Addison (Webster Springs), WV

Officially incorporated as Addison but known to almost everyone as Webster Springs, this quiet mountain town sits tucked deep in the West Virginia hills where the Elk River and Back Fork meet. The town earned its everyday name from the natural mineral springs that made the valley a popular resort retreat around the turn of the twentieth century. Today, it serves as the county seat, sitting where winding mountain routes converge in a lush, forested valley.

Life here moves at a relaxed pace, shaped by the surrounding mountains and a close-knit community. Locals spend their free time fishing for trout, kayaking the rivers, and gathering for beloved traditions like the annual World Championship Woodchopping Festival each spring. With around 700 residents, it offers a peaceful, scenic setting for anyone looking to trade city noise for fresh air and small-town charm.
