The biennial Coal Show attracts thousands to the Brushfork Armory, a first-rate facility. A new industrial park along the turnpike promises to accelerate industrial development. Owing largely to its remarkable heritage, Bluefield possesses a nearly unmatched quality of life. On the infrequent days that the summer temperature exceeds ninety degrees, the Chamber serves free lemonade, a fun promotion that merely serves to draw worldwide attention to the mild and breezy weather in Bluefield. Two modern hospitals offer accessible health care options, and a daily newspaper and television station keep Bluefield in touch with the world.
Recreational facilities abound.
City Park, golf courses, proximity to whitewater rafting, skiing, and hiking in Pipestem State Park or along the nearby Appalachian Trail make Bluefield the perfect center for mountain vacations. Bluefield is a unique and distinctive city, its story wholly American, fascinating and intriguing. With a rich history and a bright future, the community is poised once again to make history.
