West Union's current major industries are oil and gas production, and lumbering.  Past major industries were the production of railroad ties, oil and gas production, farming, and lumbering.  For the future, oil and gas production appears sure, and the historic little town is a perfect movie set for the film industry, and for tourism. 


The Historical Walking Tour of West Union is self-guided.  Brochures may be obtained at the Town Hall or at J & J's Florist on Main St.
