Fairmont, West Virginia, is tucked into the green hills of Appalachia. Pioneers, bootleggers, and miners have all carved its collective story.

This podcast documentary explores the past - through dozens of oral history interviews with local Fairmonters. We asked two questions: "What makes Fairmont special?" and "What do you remember most?".

The stories are intimate, personal, hilarious, and heartwrenching. This is history in a different light. Rather than a textbook focus on names and dates, this podcast tells, quite literally, a people's history of Fairmont. The podcast also features a 60-minute walking tour through Downtown Fairmont.

Take a special journey - into the soul of this special town.
