About this listen

Did you know that the "jolly happy soul" we celebrate every winter had deep roots in the state of West Virginia? In this episode, we sit down with Dinah Courrier at the Mineral County Museum to uncover the local legacy of Jack Rollins, the Keyser native who penned the lyrics to the holiday classic "Frosty the Snowman." While the world knows the song, few realize the man behind the magic - and the other legendary characters he helped create, from Peter Cottontail to Smokey Bear.
The museum's mission is to protect the artifacts that define the heritage of Keyser and the surrounding communities. So, whether you are a lifelong resident of Mineral County or just a fan of holiday magic, join us for a look at the home that houses a local songwriters memorabilia that gave the world a legend that will never melt away.
