About Baxter

Tucked along Paw Paw Creek just northwest of Rivesville, Baxter is a tiny Marion County community of around 160 residents. It grew up around the historic Stafford Mine at the turn of the twentieth century, and landmarks like the 1901 company store still stand as quiet reminders of its coal heritage. Today, life here is calm and unhurried, offering a peaceful rural backdrop for anyone looking to settle down in the hills of north-central West Virginia.
