Quiet Dell is located at the junction of Interstate 79 and West Virginia Route 20 {{convert|5|mi|km}} southeast of Clarksburg. The community's name is descriptive.[2] The Quiet Dell School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[3] In 1931, Quiet Dell was the scene of multiple murders committed by serial killer, Harry Powers. Key retail businesses in Quiet Dell include the Adventure Grill (home of the giant yeti carving), the 7/11-BP and Exxon gas stations, Dollar General, and Stonewood Bulk Foods. Infocision has a significant call center located here. Several businesses related to the oil and gas industry are based within the community. Tourist attractions include the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Museum in the old school, and Primitives, a crafting coop. The historic Quiet Dell United Methodist Church, dating from 1896, is also located here. The area is primarily single-family residential in nature on large lots.
