About Reader
Tucked into the hills of Wetzel County along Route 20, Reader is a quiet rural community with fewer than 300 residents. The town grew around the turn of the twentieth century alongside the railroad and Reader Run, and it keeps that peaceful, tucked-away character today. Life here moves at a slow and steady pace, surrounded by scenic green hollows and winding back roads that give this small corner of West Virginia a welcoming, down-to-earth feel.
