Union blends historic character with Appalachian scenery as the seat of Monroe County. Brick sidewalks lead to the 19th-century courthouse and locally owned cafés, while weekend plans range from galleries in Lewisburg to a ballgame or big-box errands in Princeton.
Outdoor time is a way of life here. Paddle, fish, or camp at Moncove Lake State Park, climb to the windswept tower at the Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory during fall migrations, or wander into the George Washington & Jefferson National Forests on the Allegheny Trail. History buffs explore the Monroe County Historical Society museum complex and the storied springs and farmsteads around town, with day trips to riverfront Alderson and friendly Peterstown for festivals and small-town dining.
Families appreciate Monroe County Schools, known for close-knit classrooms, FFA programs, and Friday-night lights with the James Monroe Mavericks. Younger students attend Mountain View Elementary/Middle in town, and high schoolers head just down the road to James Monroe High. Travel is simple via Greenbrier Valley Airport, and everyday needs are covered locally, with expanded care options in Ronceverte.
