If you like My Buckhannon, we really hope you’ll support the site by becoming a premium member. We’re 100 percent locally owned and operated, so every membership goes directly to helping us better serve the Upshur County community.

We’ve tried to pack premium memberships with tons of value: you get full access to every story on My Buckhannon, unlimited access to our great photo galleries (including the high resolution files), free shipping on orders from our store and the warm feeling of knowing you’re supporting a local business.

Ready to join but not sure how? It’s easy. Just follow these simple steps.

From the main menu (the three stacked lines on the mobile site) click Become a Member

The main menu button is at the top left of the mobile site.

On a desktop or tablet, click become a member at the right of the main menu bar.

Next, decide if you would like to become a monthly member ($10/month with a one-month free trial) or an annual member ($89.99 a year, a 25 percent discount over the monthly price), then click Join Now.

Decide if a monthly or an annual membership is right for you, then click Join Now
