Nestled in the scenic countryside of Hendricks, West Virginia lies the idyllic, nostalgic Triple C Farm & Schoolhouse Discovery Center—a family-friendly hidden gem farm and history museum in the Canaan Valley just waiting to be explored. This unique facility offers a mix of educational experiences and hands-on activities for visitors of all ages (my favorite feature is the petting zoo!), making it a perfect destination for families, school groups, and nature enthusiasts.

The farm at Triple C is home to a variety of animals, including cows, pigs, chickens, and horses.
