The ghost town is famous for its well-preserved train depot, which serves as a museum. It shows exhibits and artifacts that detail the area's coal mining heritage. With its beautiful location along the New River, Thurmond invites exploration. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and significance of the coal industry and railroad, shaping the local community and the surrounding natural landscape.

I would not use again

3.00Finding the correct shaka app to you proved difficult for me. By the time I did get the correct one, there was no internet connection. So we never got to listen to the tour. I am hoping for a refund. We were able to find a free one through NPS app that worked fine.
Navigation has issues

3.00The narration was good, but the navigation was lacking. Sometimes it left out steps. For example, it gave directions to enter a park and drive to a grist mill. I then paused the app. When resuming the app, the navigation directions assumed that I left the park. Instead of giving directions from the mill (where it told me to stop and pause the app), it assumed that I had returned to the park entrance and gave directions from there. Similar issues occurred at other stops.
