About Woodside, Pennsylvania

Woodside rests in a hollow, a gathering of homes and weathered barns cradled by the rolling shoulders of the Appalachian foothills. It lies 15.2 miles north-north-east of Morgantown, WV (from Morgantown, WV: bearing 22°T), and is situated 8.4 miles west-south-west of Uniontown. The land here is a study in deep greens and earthy browns, with the occasional splash of wild color from roadside wildflowers. Oak and maple trees, their branches reaching like gnarled fingers towards a sky that often wears a cloak of soft grey, crowd the slopes, their shadows lengthening as the afternoon wanes. A quiet creek, its water the color of diluted tea, winds its way through the valley floor, its murmur a constant, subtle soundtrack to the hushed air. The very feel of the place is one of gentle enclosure, as if the hills themselves have drawn a protective arm around Woodside. The history of Woodside is tied to the earth, to the coal that once pulsed beneath its surface and the hardy souls who sought it out. While the major mines have long since closed, their legacy is etched into the landscape, in the quiet stillness of abandoned tipples and the stories whispered by older residents. The local economy now leans more towards small-scale agriculture and the quiet hum of workshops, a slow, steady pulse compared to the roar of industry past. There’s a tangible sense of continuity here, a deep-rooted connection to the land that predates the boom and bust cycles. On clear evenings, the stars seem to hang closer to Woodside, a silent, luminous testament to the enduring nature of this place.
