Sugar Grove, West Virigina

20 miles south of Brandywine in a very rural part of West Virigina is Sugar Grove. A traditional farming community, there isn't much here except for the NSA's now defunct Sugar Grove Listening Facility. Some nice farm country, traditional West Virginia buildings, a very small town.
