There is no better way to preserve the
history of Guyandotte than to ensure that future generations
understand the importance of what history lies in their own
backyards....literally! One reason we provide our tours to
the public is to teach the community the significance of
these historic sites to the area. If the community does not
value the history of their home, that history will
eventually be forgotten and most likely be destroyed.
Unfortunately, Guyandotte has lost too many of it's historic
buildings over the years, but we hope to help preserve what
still remains.
Guyandotte has a wealth of important history
and important people who lived here. From the Native
Americans to the Buffington family, Guyandotte has played a
very prominent role in the Ohio River Valley. Listed below
is some general information for anyone looking to learn more
