The Sistersville Ferry Board is excited to announce that after a two month recruitment period, we have hired a new pilot for the Sistersville Ferry. Meet Captain Kevin Bunner! Kevin is an Ohio Valley native who brings to our ferry extensive experience working on riverboat cruise ships on both the mighty Mississippi and the beautiful Northwest Columbia rivers. We are pleased he is bringing vessel operational skills as well as riverboat touring experience to our Ferry. The Board will announce the ferry's operating dates soon which will be sometime in September. THANK YOU, Facebook friends, for your care and support, along with your respect for the challenge we faced this summer. We have felt your understanding, patience and support which truly served to energize this Ferry Board toward this resolution.

💜 September is National Recovery Month 💜

Drug/Alcohol addiction has touched the lives of so many in our community. Recovery takes strength to keep moving forward one day at a time. Recovery isn’t easy—but it is possible, and it’s something worth celebrating.

During the month of September, we will honor the strength, courage, and resilience of those on their journey of recovery. 💜 Recovery is possible, and every step forward—no matter how small—is worth celebrating.

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting a loved one, or advocating for awareness, your voice matters.

Purple stands for recovery and during the month of September the Tyler County Sheriff’s Office will fly a purple West Virginia flag In support of National Recovery Month! We would also like to support those who are fighting addiction, In recovery or families who are dealing with addiction by allowing anyone who wants to plant a small purple flag on our bank below the flag pole anytime during the month of September. You can get a flag at our office anytime Monday through Friday 8a-4p and we will have a marker for you to write your name on the flag or the name of a family member.
We will display the flags on the bank the entire month of September!
