What better way to celebrate autumn than with a visit to West Virginia’s only Pumpkin Park? Especially since this little known park is hosting a four-day festival in honor of the great pumpkin! Since 1986, the Town of Milton (population, less than 3,000) has transformed their small community into a pumpkin wonderland in honor of local pumpkin farming families. The WV Pumpkin Festival attracts more than 50,000 people from all over.
