FRANKLIN, W.Va. (WHSV) - Saturday marks the end of maple month in the Mountain State, and it will be a day full of open houses across the area, to which you can explore all things maple. This year, four counties in eastern West Virginia wanted to do something a little bit different to reward you for coming out and exploring everything that the area has to offer. For the ninth year in a row, West Virginia is putting its rich maple culture on display for two days, inviting tourists from all over.
