Burnsville, West Virginia

Interstate 79 motorists could be out of luck if they're counting on a quick bathroom break at highway rest stops.

West Virginia is a great place to travel. It is centrally located to many of the metropolitan areas of the eastern United States, has a low cost compared to other destinations, and has a variety of activities ...

Memorial Day is the weekend that many former Burnsville folks return to town for the annual banquet at their former high school. This time, you may be glad to know that more taxpayers voted for the bond, an effort to save the community school.The issue has to have a sixty percent passing, and it had only a few hundred votes.

The two rest areas at MP 85 called "Burnsville", just north of the Burnsville exit of I-79, are both closed for major facility upgrades until sometime next year.

For those traveling, especially at night, be advised that no public restrooms are available at either of the rest areas, or at Burnsville, off exit 79, from midnight till dawn. Both convenience stores in town are either closed or served by window only during the overnight hours.

Some of us, who live in Burnsville, apologize for the inability to assist the many who need these facilities on their trek through our beautiful area of the Mountain State.
