Discovering Despard's Hidden Gems

As I was thinking about our town's history, I stumbled upon the fact that Despard was once home to the largest manufacturing enterprise in north central West Virginia, the Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate Company, also known as the Tin Plate Mill. This got me wondering, what are some of the town's best-kept secrets that newcomers might not know about, perhaps related to this industrial heritage or other unique aspects of our community? What's your favorite lesser-known spot or tradition in Despard?
