Hinton Historian

July 2026
1min read

The article on Hinton, West Virginia (July/August), was indeed interesting, and I learned quite a few things about the town I didn’t know. It is apparent that the author, Paul R. Lilly, enjoyed telling the story of Hinton—he’s quite a tale weaver. He seems well qualified to tell us about the parts of the town’s past that didn’t make it into our history books.
