Renting a trailer in Rowlesburg
Rowlesburg sits on the Cheat River in southern Preston County, a railroad town incorporated in 1858 that still gathers around its riverside park. The Labor Day ox roast has filled Rowlesburg Park for more than sixty years, with overnight pit cooking, live music and a vendor village. In October the West Virginia Chestnut Festival returns for a single Sunday, with breakfast at the Szilagyi Center and roasted chestnuts at the park. Crowds of that size are where temporary restroom units can help.
Contact the Preston County Office of Emergency Management about any spot close to the Cheat River before booking, and confirm the park or Szilagyi Center location with the right local contact.
Who to ask about permits in Rowlesburg
Preston County's flood control ordinance expects anyone building in a flood zone to check with the county Office of Emergency Management first. A 2018 dispute involved a mobile home along the Cheat River near Rowlesburg that the county said was placed without that process, so riverside siting draws attention here. FEMA redrew the county's flood zones in 2012. Whether a rental trailer counts under the ordinance is a question for that office. A separate Rowlesburg rule on temporary trailers or park use was not found.
- The Cheat River crested at 36.9 feet in November 1985, against a 16-foot flood stage.
- In 2019 the county noted that moving a structure a few feet can leave the flood zone.
- The park kitchen building took in flood water; officials discussed higher ground in 2021.

Labor Day weekend at Rowlesburg Park
The ox roast has run for over six decades. Listings describe the beef pit-cooked overnight in the park, with meals served on Labor Day Monday, and recent coverage mentions live music, children's bounce houses and a vendor village. That mix of overnight cooking and visitors staying through the afternoon means restrooms are needed for many hours. The park sits on the Cheat River side of town, and Dominion Post reporting in 2021 noted park commissioners wanted to make the existing restrooms more accessible, so an ADA-stall trailer adds capacity. Access and placement should be settled with town officials beforehand.
Siting near the Cheat River
Rowlesburg lies on the Cheat River, and flooding has already reached the park's own buildings. For a lease or a long event near the water, make the Office of Emergency Management check before a delivery date is set, and settle with the park or Szilagyi Center contacts exactly where a unit would sit.

Szilagyi Center banquet overflow

Does a trailer near the Cheat River need a county flood check?

Whether a rental trailer is covered is best asked of that office, and the site map should be settled first.
Who runs Rowlesburg Park and the Szilagyi Center?
Rowlesburg's mayor and park commissioner have handled park decisions, such as the 2021 talks on relocating the flood-damaged kitchen building. The Rowlesburg Revitalization Committee is reported to own and operate the Szilagyi Center, so each site has a different contact.
