Top 7 Educational sites in West Virginia, United States

November 17, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

As you would expect, The Mountain State displays rustic charm with dramatic river gorges, large limestone caverns and spectacular mountain views. West Virginia hosts outdoor enthusiasts and family vacationers looking for fresh-air activities and serene mountain atmosphere. If stimulating city holidays are your preference, Charleston combines warm hospitality with a lovely riverside location. A family-friendly destination, you’ll discover children’s theatre, river park recreation and popular Bridge Road for shopping and dining. Smaller towns blend outdoor adventure with quaint village atmospheres. Set between the New, Greenbrier and Bluestone Rivers, Hinton is an historic rail town filled with turn-of-the-century architecture and a host of water activities at its doorstep – rafting, fishing, kayaking and more. In the heart of West Virginia, Summersville is a “Mountain Water Playground.” Its lakeside location encourages outdoor recreation from swimming and boating to scuba diving and rafting. And history buffs can trace Civil War battles throughout the states historic sites and state parks. Hiking or horseback riding along trails through deep hardwood forests is another family favorite, especially when you stop for a picnic along a clear mountain stream.

Reviewed By L5167CEsusanc - Culpeper, United States

We visited the Discovery Center for the first time last weekend. It had a number of displays and a very interesting moving about soldiers training for mountain climbing back in the 40's. I had not known that that happened. Would stop there again.

West Virginia Independence Hall

Reviewed By U3679HNshawnm

We were visiting the area and were told to check this out. This is a really well restored piece of history. We learned a lot about the area. Being from Pittsburgh originally Wheeling was always just a pass through, but stopping here really did provide a lot of insight about the history of the Wheeling and how West Virginia was formed. This probably would not keep you kids engaged. Teenagers if interested in history would probably enjoy it. I would plan on 1 to 1.5 hours. The staff was excellent! Since this is their slow time we basically got over views from several of the staff members and they new the history well. They also said there are a ton of special events hosted by them and that the participate in.
