Every 5 years, the Nuttall descendents gather near Fayetteville, West Virginia to revisit what remains of Nuttallburg.  Family members share information about their ancestor and discuss ways to preserve their heritage for future generations.  Named “The Struggle”, these reunions retrace the difficult route to Nuttallburg, deep in the New River Gorge.  Each summer, John Nuttall would pack up his family and belongings in horse drawn wagons and make the trek up the mountain to a cooler spot.  In those days, that trip was certainly a Struggle – and the name has been preserved for these reunions ever since.
