About Glen Jean
Set along the winding creeks of Fayette County, Glen Jean is a tiny mountain community steeped in West Virginia history. It grew rapidly during the late-nineteenth-century coal boom, once home to a bustling opera house and a grand local hotel. Today, the town is best known as the headquarters for the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. It offers residents a quiet, secluded lifestyle in the Appalachian hills, all while keeping you minutes away from hiking trails, whitewater rafting, and the everyday conveniences of nearby Oak Hill and Fayetteville.
