CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia State Parks officials announced Monday that six park restaurants will host special Mother’s Day lunches and buffets on May 10, offering families across the Mountain State a scenic and memorable way to celebrate the holiday.
State parks offering a special lunch include Cacapon Resort, Chief Logan, North Bend, Pipestem Resort, Twin Falls Resort and Tygart Lake state parks.
“Mother’s Day has deep roots here in West Virginia, and our state parks offer the perfect setting to celebrate the women who mean so much to us,” said West Virginia State Parks Acting Chief Dillard Price. “From a relaxing meal surrounded by nature to a full weekend getaway, we invite families to slow down, spend time together and make lasting memories in some of West Virginia’s most beautiful places.”
Mother’s Day traces its origins to West Virginia through the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration in 1908 at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church to honor her mother. Her advocacy led to the national recognition of the holiday in 1914, making West Virginia the birthplace of this cherished annual tradition.
Tables are limited for the Chief Logan and North Bend Mother’s Day lunches, so guests are encouraged to make reservations in advance. Lodging is also available for those who want to make this an overnight experience. For menus, pricing and reservation details, visit WVstateparks.com/mothers-day-dinners.
