Awesome- I’m a history buff, who works in mental health- loved the history and enjoyed seeing the awesome restoration efforts to preserve this piece of history. Staff was super knowledgeable and genuinely cared about the building. Have been long skeptical of religious beliefs and questioned life after death. Saw and experienced thing that rocked my to my core... this place is a must see- regardless of your motivations- it is a national treasure

You don't need a lot of time to go through this museum but it is a wealth of beauty and memories of all types of glass. Free will donation to go through it and it was a nice nostalgic visit. The staff are willing to talk to you about the glass on display and many of them are volunteers who want to help preserve this museum. If you go, be generous in your donation to them, it is well worth the stop.

This is an awesome place to come to do something artistic in Weston. I attended a canvas class and learned so much and feel that my painting looks much better than I could’ve done by myself. I’ve also just came in when I had time and have painted some very cool ceramics that always come out stunning! They offer shipping for visitors and are super friendly!! I learned you can walk in any time to do canvas painting, and I’m coming back in to do the glass fusing too!

My reason for coming to Weston was for the Historic Insane Asylum tour, but it was closed on the one day I was in town. It turned out not to be a bad thing because I found this little hidden gem! I enjoyed some quiet time sipping wine over a fire built especially for me. I enjoyed a nice chat with the owner, who is truly an artist. This family run winery could easily complete with some of the best wineries I have visited in Europe. I plan on coming back and staying the weekend.

What started as a tribute to two beloved friends has evolved into a moving, honorable, respectful and even celebratory memorial to WV Soldiers from all branches of the military. The items on display are lovingly preserved. Each Soldier’s photo is identified with name, county and branch so that they may live on. Barb, our guide, was the perfect host. She was always available for questions and her stories truly added to the experience.
