Grant County officially joined the Almost Heaven Swings initiative after one of the iconic landmarks was installed in Petersburg.

“It is truly a blessing to showcase our beautiful area in a new way,” said Grant County Commissioner Tyson Riggleman.

“With so many natural attractions already drawing visitors, this adds another unique experience that encourages even
more people to explore and enjoy everything Grant County has to offer. “

The Petersburg swing is located at the water access point near the city bridge. “We are thrilled to be the next location for a West Virginia Almost Heaven swing. It’s great timing to be included in the new statewide “Swingo” scavenger hunt where you download a Bingo card for the swings,” said Carla Kaposy, Executive Director Grant County Convention and Visitors Bureau. “This fun attraction adds another great reason to visit Grant County.” Grant County is one of 60 swing locations throughout the state of West Virginia.
