Moorefield, WV
This huge painting is by artist Kelson Thorne. He calls it “Through the Trough,” referring to a gorge on the South Branch of the Potomac. The Trough was documented in 1748 in the writings of a young surveyor named George Washington!
The artist has painted a number of murals in West Virginia. I hope to see some
of them during
Heritage Weekend in
September.
