Honey in the Rock is America’s oldest Civil War drama, first performed in 1961 and written by Kermit Hunter. Staged annually at the Cliffside Amphitheatre in Grandview Park within the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, the play depicts the birth of West Virginia during the turmoil of the American Civil War. Blending real historical events with fictional characters, it follows individuals torn between Union loyalty and Confederate ties as families and communities struggle with identity, sacrifice, and the pursuit of statehood. Through drama, music, and dance, the production delivers an emotional and educational portrayal of the courage and perseverance that shaped West Virginia.
