==In popular culture== [[File:Braxton_Visitor_Center.jpg|thumb|right|Braxton County Visitor Center, on Main Street in downtown Sutton]] In June 2021, the owners of the Mountain Laurel Country Store opened the West Virginia Bigfoot Museum to the public. The museum, one of only two east of the Mississippi River dedicated exclusively to Bigfoot, features plaster castings, skull replicas, full size wood carvings and written accounts of people in West Virginia who have claimed encounters with Bigfoot. On June 26, 2021, The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum hosted the first West Virginia Bigfoot Festival in Sutton to a huge crowd. The event featured a wide variety of food, games and vendors in a family friendly atmosphere, with visitors coming from across the east coast. Sutton, and the surrounding area, was the setting for a short science fiction story by [[Lawrence Watt-Evans]] entitled [[Why I Left Harry's All-Night Hamburgers]]. It was nominated for the [[Nebula Award]] in 1987 and won the [[Hugo Award for Best Short Story]] in 1988. In 1991, a sequel, "A Flying Saucer with Minnesota Plates" was published. It also takes place around Sutton. In 2019 another sequel, 'How I Found Harry's All-Night Hamburgers' was published. A film based on the original story is currently in development for Warner Brothers. Sutton is featured in the videogame ''[[Fallout 76]]'', which has resulted in an increase of visitors from around the world to see the town.
