A wonderful walk through West Virginia history at the Mountain State’s birthplace. Start in the basement and watch the docudrama video bout the story. The video is very old, 1970s to early 80s. Has a Little House on the Prairie but is surprisingly entertaining and informative. The day we were there we had the museum to ourselves most of the self-guided your. There’also some neat display about the history of Wheeling. Th city has quite a story to share in its own right.

WOW.... Theres so much history in this building you have to visit this amazing place ️

Free museum, very educational and interesting.

Beautiful building, very educational! Somewhat rough looking neighborhood.

Yep... learning our history sometimes takes effort. This one us worth the effort.

Very interesting story of how West Virginia became its own state. Movie needs updating, though.

History rules! Great Civil War flags & grand building. We really enjoyed it. Cant forget the most important part, super friendly people!

Good museum. Interesting subject. Film seriously needs updated. Apparently from 1970s.

Wonderful restoration. Outstanding staff. Great resource for information on West Virginias quest for statehood

A nice little trip through history. I knew that WV separated from VA during the Civil War, but not the story of how that happen. Two hours were a good amount of time to see the exhibits and enjoy the beauty of the restored building.

Awesome place to learn about WV history.

Very polite staff and wonderful displays of history. Especially liked the Civil War regimental flags.

Wonderful historical hall.

I visited with a car club and enjoyed learning the history of West Virginia--how it came to be and the steps of creating a new state. There are also interesting displays of civil war era battle flags and period furnishings and artifacts.

Very informative place, if you have time to kill go check it out. Free and the staff was very nice and helpful.

Birthplace of West Virginia. Loved the tour and the movie--so rich in history!

Great historical landmark. A must see to explore West Virginia history.

Surprised by the beautiful restoration of the 19th century courtroom on the 3rd floor and the detail of the exhibits. A must for local Civil War buffs, or for those passing through the region.

History at its best

This was West Virginias first state capital.

Its worth a stop if you are in town. It has a nice civil war flag collection. Its probably no more than an hour.

Cool to learn about the history of West Virginia.

I sat these steps as a child in the fiftys, wondering why the steps were so worn, little did I realize the historic events that took place here especially during the Civil war!
