A national television show is filming in West Virginia this week.

The Greater Morgantown Convention and Visitors Bureau is hosting the Discovery Channel’s “Road Trip Masters”.

Crews will be in town until Sunday filming segments on the area’s history, food, attractions, adventures, places to stay and the arts.

“Essentially their show’s all about them taking their ride across America,” said Susan Riddle, Executive Director of the Greater Morgantown Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. “They’re stopping in all 50 states and we’re gonna have them experience the community.”

According to the show’s website, “Road Trip Masters” is hosted by educators Nick Kessler and Brian Fulmer, who explore small towns in their 1968 drop top Cadillac.

The GMCVB plans to showcase West Virginia University and its famous athletic venues, Coopers Rock, Cheat Lake, favorite area restaurants and this weekend’s MountainFest, all in hopes of attracting more visitors.

“It’s an opportunity for us to get some positive national exposure for the greater Morgantown area and anytime we can do that it really gives the rest of the country a window on the world of what we have to offer,” Riddle said.

She also hopes the show dispels any negative ideas people have about visiting the area.

“I’ve had so many people tell me that Morgantown is nothing like what they expected,” Riddle said. “It wasn’t the stereotypes that they’ve heard. Once they get here it’s a cool vibe. A mix between almost heaven and wild and wonderful with a really cool hip vibe, so I just need the rest of the country to understand exactly what that means.”

An air date for the show has not yet been announced.
