Well, I have given your considerable problem considerable thought. You haven’t told me where in the state you will be so I will offer suggestions. If you are in the eastern panhandle, Berkeley County would be your best bet. Berkeley voted against secession, yet gave most of its men to the Confederacy, so there is something for everyone there. If you are in the southwest, you can try Cabell, Wayne and Kanawha counties. Cabell & Wayne voted against secession, but were home to Jenkins Brigade, the largest CSA cavalry unit at Gettysburg, and the boys who burned Chambersburg, PA, in 1864. Kanawha County also voted against secessionn, but was home to Wise’s Legion, CSA, over 4000 men who were later sent to defend South Carolina. If you are in the southeast, you are inevitably in Confederate territory. If you are in the northwest, you are in Union territory. Though it should be said that even Wheeling gave a small band of Confederates, Shriver’s Grays. No matter where you are, I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Best wishes.

Anywhere along I-64, just two nights. Thanks.

You mentioned the burning of Chambersburg PA in 1964, not something I knew of.

It's a matter of interest -- in this day and age when civil wars typically produce 100 civilian deaths for every soldier killed -- to note that in burning Chambersburg, there was just one civilian death, plus five confederate soldiers.

Here is the report from Geneal Early to General Lee (all emphases added):

Early's report to Lee

[TO:]"General Lee, Petersburg:

"On the 30th of July McCausland entered Chambersburg and, by my orders, demanded $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in Northern money as compensation for several houses of citizens of Jefferson County burned by order of Hunter, with directions, in default of payment, to burn the town.

The money was not paid, and the town was burned.
I alone am responsible for this act....

J. A. Early, Lieut. Gen."

This link has an interesting description, including:
Burning Chambersburg

"Not all Confederates participated in the sacking of Chambersburg.
The Masonic Temple was spared when an officer who was also a Mason posted guards to prevent its burning.
When the colonel of the 21st Virginia Cavalry refused to obey the burning order, he was arrested and his entire unit sent out of town.
Other Confederates tried to help frantic citizens retrieve household goods before their homes were burned.

"In the end, perhaps 550 buildings went up in flames.

"In spite of the widespread arson and looting, the Rebels killed only one civilian, an elderly African American.

"Angry citizens killed at least five Confederates by the time the raiders had withdrawn."
