The coal town of Fayette, West Virginia was abandoned in the 1960's. It is located just upriver from the Fayette Station Bridge on the New River and within sight of the New River Gorge Bridge (Route 19). This is a 20-minute video, so I have provided links below to different sites at this old town.

I mention the abandoned coal town of Stonecliff, and my previous video of it can be found at this link: https://youtu.be/FK9hLCn4N3M
