The Dunglen Hotel

from Stories of Appalachia · host Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins

During the post-Civil War coal boom in West Virginia, many new towns were founded to serve the coal industry and the railroads that hauled that coal to market. One of these towns was Thurmond, founded by a former Confederate captain of Thurmond's Rangers which was based in the area.Along with those towns came hotels to accomodate visitors and businessmen. In Thurmond one of those hotels gained quite a saucy reputation: the Dunglen Hotel.Today we tell that story.You can subscribe to the Stories podcast at Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Audible, Goodpods, IHeartRadio, or on your favorite podcast app.
