EaTO, thank you for the tour of Tamarack,I was lucky enough to work there for more than two years. When we opened the entire sales area was jammed with all things West Virginia made,too much was just enough. One thing I did notice as you made your way around the circle was the large wooden train filled with marbles priced at 6 cents each, in 1997 they were priced at 5 cents! The building is unique for sure, as was the concept, it was the first retail arts and crafts center to feature only items made by in state residents. As we were mostly tourist driven (95%) tourist 5% local residents, I can’t imagine how devastating the Covid 19 pandemic must have been for them. Many of the artisans derived their entire income from Tamarack and I remember them as wonderful truly gifted people. I’m so glad I found your family visit on RU-vid. Safe travels always,Bobbie
