| | Preserve America Community: Bramwell, West Virginia |
 | | In the late 1800s and the early 1900s, Bramwell was home to coal miners, Italian immigrant stone workers, and, in summer, the high society of New York. |
 | | Bramwell's historic 1893 Holy Trinity Episcopalian Church, abandoned for nearly 20 years, was acquired by the city in 2003 and stabilized through a combination of State and private funding, donation of services, and volunteer efforts. |
 | | However, Bramwell residents are determined to continue preserving their historic treasures, and have already secured a $100,000 grant through the West Virginia Coal Heritage Trail Association. |
