Jerryville

West Virginia's ghost towns are coal company towns, owned outright by the mine and abandoned the same way.

Jerryville is an unincorporated community in Webster County, West Virginia, United States. Little is known about the location, but one thing known is that there lives the infamous Jerry, who drinks Jerry Ones. Nice.

The on-the-ground condition of Jerryville is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Jerryville is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
