I know it's been 2 days but yes WV is an east coast state despite not having a coastline. Or at least the eastern panhandle is since it is so interconnected with Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Southern and central WV doesn't feel very east coast but you don't want to visit much of southern WV anyway since it has basically nothing for tourists to see other than New River Gorge National Park (there is also the WV Mine Wars Museum on the Kentucky border). Central WV has some really cool places to visit but they are often difficult to get too like Helvetia. The northern panhandle has The Penitentiary and the mothman festival + a very int. Most of the cool things are on the eastern panhandle like Harper's Ferry, Seneca Caverns, Shepherdstown, and a bunch of Civil War sites and museums. The panhandle is really interconnected with the actual coast states and historic places in Maryland, like Antietam battlefield, have things to see in West Virginia connected to them.

Sorry this is so long and possibly not super coherent, I grew up all over WV before moving to New England and I genuinely think people should include it in their travels since it has such a fascinating history.

No worries. Thanks.
