We lucked up on this neat gem and must admit that we were intrigued! It is a nice area but it was a little difficult to find parking. Very nice shop and it did inspire us to watch the movie!

In 1967 the Silver Memorial Bridge over the Ohio River joining Ohio and West Virginia on U S 35 collapsed without warning killing about 30 people and injuring over 200 people. Prior to this collapse of bridge there had been many sightings of the creature known as the Mothman in this area. According to legend a Mothman always appears prior to a natural or a man made disaster and Point Pleasant is no exception. Very interesting statue and well worth the stop to take picture of if you are anywhere within the area. Very interesting legend!

Somewhat of a biker bar but their Happy Hour is great. They have great burgers and other pub food. The owners are in the place on a regular basis and keep the place nice. Don't ever be hesitant to order food here. Great staff.

Kudos to PP, WV, for taking such good care of this park and maintaining it as an active, relevant link to history. The murals along the outside of the flood wall are outstanding, and I think a new addition since the last time I was in town. I have been visiting this park periodically for 5 decades and it's a different experience each time. Maddeningly, my visits have always been after the building exhibits are closed.
An easy stroll down to this park from the Lowe hotel along the flood wall, and then you can go back up the street and make an interesting and relaxing loop.

I think the boat driving simulator was our favorite part.
Jack Fowler has provided an amazing tribute to Point Pleasant with this museum! Ask a few questions of him or anyone else there and you will get some first-hand information, and guidance regarding things in the museum.

Reviewed By wvjake - Lewisburg, West Virginia
There were lots of exhibits but no one in any of the buildings to tell us about the things. We prowled on our own, through the old tractors, black smith shop, store. Everything is well done and well cared for. It was interesting, but would have liked it to have been a working farm which we thought it was.
9. Fort Randolph

We arrived before the fort opened, but the exhibits outside the barricade were still informative and interesting. They explained a little about early forts and fit pieces of the pre-revolutionary period together for me. A poster also described interesting annual events there, including a 'critter dinner'!
