Alderson is your typical small West Virginia town. It has friendly people, local shops, and a low crime rate. In the warmer months, there are a hundred things to do here, from river trails to hike, bike, or jog to a lazy day floating the river, we have it all!
I have lived in Alderson since I was 12 years old, I am now 16. I live right by the public library and Alderson Elementary. The crime rate is generally low and I really enjoy going to the park right beside the school with my dog to play in the field.
The weather is mild with a good show of the four seasons. Summers are mild, plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures. The winters would be the only season that has its issues. The road get covered in snow and the mountainous terrain makes it difficult for the snow plows to keep up with. Spring and summer are the best times for tourism and business in the area.
