Walnut Gap Grade
School. Walnut Gap is located at the end of Valley Grove, and then it
drops over the hill to Dry Branch Drive. At that point you're almost to
the Kanawha River. Know where the new Eagle View Apartments are up on
the hill across from Kanawha City? This school would have been way up
on the hill behind that. This school was built in 1885 and averaged 23
kids.

Web School
Webb Grade School.
Here are two great photos of this school. It was located very near
where the shooting range is today, on Smith Creek Road Between South
Charleston and Tornado. Smith Creek crossed the road right in front of
the school via a bridge that you see in the photo. The school was built
in 1890 and had an average of 20 kids. |
Wet Branch
WET BRANCH SCHOOL was 2 miles up from the mouth Cabin Creek Road.
It appears it was closed in the late 70s, possibly 78 or 79.
Whittaker School
Whittaker Grade School, almost at the end of Paint Creek in Whittaker WV.
It was built in 1940 and had two rooms. About 40 children attended school here.
Wolfpen SchoolWolfpen School was off Rt 21, Sissonville Rd between Edens Fork and Tuppers Creek.
I'm not positive, but the color map below is the location of this this school I believe.
However, Wolfpen at one time had three schools, but I think this was the middle one.
