Here in West Virginia, we love Dairy Queen! And we have some of the best Dairy Queens in the nation. There are West Virginia’s two oldest Dairy Queens. There’s the West Virginia Dairy Queen with one of the best views in the world. And then there’s the Dairy Queen in West Virginia that still has its original, retro Eskimo Girl sign. Think that’s normal? It’s not. In fact, this is (according to the restaurant itself) the only Eskimo Girl sign left in the whole nation that’s still used by an operating Dairy Queen. You heard that right: a trip to the Grafton, West Virginia Dairy Queen is an absolutely one-of-a-kind experience!

Welcome to the small mountain town of Grafton, West Virginia, located between Rowlesburg and Bridgeport on Highway 50. More specifically, welcome to the Grafton, West Virginia Dairy Queen, located at 805 North Pike Street.
