One hundred twenty-five years after the infamous Hatfield and McCoy family feud, and the event is still making news.

The West Virginia families are in the spotlight next month with features on the History Channel including a three-day series, two new books and a feature on Anderson Cooper’s talk show.

With all the promotion of the feud, some are hoping to see a spike in the state’s tourism.

There is going to be a landslide of national media about our state’s history and that will result in a landslide of attention, said Bill Richardson, associate professor at West Viriginia University.

Richardson has been a major part of the feud-related tourism destinations in West Virginia. Read on for more information on those destinations at USA Today.
