About Spencer
Spencer serves as the county seat of Roane County, offering a quiet, small-town pace surrounded by the rolling hills of central West Virginia. Life here revolves around a historic downtown, home to the Robey Theatre, which has been showing movies continuously since 1907. Every fall, Court Street fills with crowds for the West Virginia Black Walnut Festival, the area's signature community event. For outdoor recreation, residents head to nearby Charles Fork Lake for fishing, hiking, and mountain biking along scenic wooded trails. It is an easygoing, tight-knit town where everyday life moves at a relaxed, neighborly rhythm.
