Logan County

[@jdingess]

I was born in Logan and lived with my grandparents at Holden 5 & 6 for a short while. My grandpa was killed in a mine accident in 1968 which was the first time I ever saw my dad cry. A lot of good memories from that time that I will not forget.

Some GREAT history good and bad shown. I am going to look at a home on Century hill Rd. in Logan this weekend, how is that area for crime and flooding? House is BEAUTIFUL especially the inside from the videos

[@billybergendahl3515]

Several years ago there was a program on the History Channel about the Buffalo Creek disaster of 1972. It was narrated by someone from my home town of Mount Hope. His name is Jack Spadaro.

[@waluigithewahgod9961]

Seeing this place again brings back memories. I grew up here and it was amazing Hardly no crimes and peaceful.

[@treyspaulding46]

I live in Logan. You did really good on the video and info. Thanks to all you involved. I really liked watching it. I'm 35 and knew most of what you said but also learned a little. Thanks

Several years ago I watched a documentary on the History Channel about the Buffalo Creek disaster of February 26, 1972.

[@treyspaulding46]

Yeah. That one was bad. Still one of if not the biggest disaster and flooding in WV. At least the Southern coal fields.

[@sarahhewlett3639]

That road always scared the crap out of me

Georges Creek, Henlawson, Harts Creek, WVA

[@69bucksfan]

Hi Pamela. it's funny you mention Henlawson. I haven't heard that name in years but my mom and my aunt who are from Logan talk about it often. I grew up in Ohio and I always thought it was such a funny name for a town but watching these videos and remembering my mom's stories of where she grew up is really special now that she's older.

[@susanrheaume4658]

That is where I am from. Love Susan

[@Uniden1100]

[@lordgargamel4124]

Is logan a nice place to live? No crime? Or is it wild?

[@JennaKay18]

Just a bunch of meth heads tbh

[@dreahayes2119]

Do not, I repeat, do not live there. It's a soul sucking black hole!

[@JohnWenskay-j6u]

Mom folks from Jeffrey & Man she was a Jeffrey and married a Vickers

[@ted1091]

I don't think we should be honoring a man who has a Confederate flag at his monument.

[@schs1977]

Its not "honoring" a man, it is acknowledging what happed in the past. You cannot re-write history.

[@ted1091]

@@schs1977 it's honoring a confederate
