Clarksburg, West Virginia [ don't skip it ]
#westvirginia #travel #roadtrips
Today we will be visiting Clarksburg, WV. This amazing little town is full of history and charm. Don't miss it!
Clarksburg is a city in Harrison County, West Virginia, which is located in the north-central region of the state. It was formed in 1785 and was named for general George
Rogers Clark who conducted many expeditions against the British and Indians during the Indian Wars and the American Revolution. There are many historical buildings with rich architecture that date back to before the civil war, be sure to take time to walk around the historic downtown on west main and pike street. In 1824 Thomas J Jackson, aka Stonewall Jackson was born in a house on the main street, just across from the courthouse. Stonewall Jackson's statue is located right in front of the courthouse along with the immigrant statue showing the diverse make-up of the population in the area and honoring the immigrants that helped to build the community. The city is extremely proud of it's Italian heritage. It hosts one of the largest Italian heritage festivals in the US.
Before driving to Jackson's Mill, we decided to stop at stonewall coffee house. It’s in the ally way right by the court house.
Jackson's mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's a well-preserved early grist(葛瑞st) mill, and is the boyhood home of Stonewall Jackson.
Colonel Edward Jackson, a Revolutionary War figure, originally settled the mill on the West Fork River in the 19th century. After Edward's death, his son, Cummins Jackson took over the mill.
After His brother Jonathan Jackson died from typhoid(它pho也德) fever in 1826, His widow struggled to provide for their two kids Thomas and Laura. In 1830, she arranged the young Thomas and Laura
to live with their uncle. Thomas lived here until leaving for West Point in 1842.
To get a better feel for the area we met up with Tina, the local tourism director for the city. Let’s ask her some questions
About 30 miles away from downtown Clarksburg, is the town of Weston, The West Virginia Museum of American Glass is located here.
The collection starts from the 19th century and goes all the way through to present time. It includes about 18,000 pieces of virtually every type of American glass. Be sure to check out the Lady Jane glass doll house ,they have on display as well.
Not far from the glass museum is the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This will be our final stop. It was in operation from 1864 to 1994. It was made in the Gothic Revival (rei/vi wo)and Tudor Revival styles by the architect Richard Snowden Andrews. Construction lasted from 1858 to 1881. It was originally designed to hold 250 people, but became overcrowded by the 1950s with 2,400 patients. It was closed in 1994 due to changes in laws governing mental patient treatment. I can image the caged souls yelling in the chilled night and crawling through the thick walls. I can't help but shiver thinking of even one night in this dark prison of souls. I left with many feelings, No matter if you love the architecture, or are scared to death of it, like the song by Kansas says, all we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see. We didn’t see anything too strange while visiting the asylum, but as we sat on the bench, we saw the lights flap on and off for hours into the night…

Huntington, West Virginia [What to see]
#westvirginia #travel #roadtrip
Today we are stopping in Huntington, WV to have a look around. This isn't just another back woods holler (though they are very interesting), Huntington is the second largest city in the state.
We start our day at the Harris Riverfront Park, a beautiful spot to enjoy some nature. Next we head over to the Huntington Museum of art to enjoy some of the paintings, glass, and other art from around the world. To get a better feel for the culture we sit down with a local veteran named Les for a cup of coffee. Not far from the coffee shop is Marshall University. The campus is well worth a visit if you are in town. For lunch we hit up the local Frostop. Frostop is an icon of 1950s and 60s America, this particular one has been making delicious hamburgers and root beer since 1959. If you are in the mood for some shopping or other options for eating, check out Pullman Square. While at the square we took the time to walk over to The Market, a great place to have a taste of the local flavor. Finally, if you find yourself in Huntington during the last week of October, head over to the Pumpkin house in nearby Kenova to see thousands of carved pumpkins on display.

西弗吉尼亞州亨廷頓市 [有哪些可以去的景點, 旅遊線路和當地特色美食]
今天我們將在西弗吉尼亞州的亨廷頓市停下來看看周圍。這不僅僅是另一個後樹林喊話(儘管它們非常有趣),亨廷頓是該州的第二大城市。
我們從哈里斯河濱公園開始新的一天,這裡是享受大自然的好地方。接下來,我們前往亨廷頓藝術博物館,欣賞來自世界各地的一些繪畫、玻璃和其他藝術品。為了更好地了解文化,我們與一位名叫萊斯的當地老兵坐下來喝杯咖啡。離咖啡店不遠就是馬歇爾大學。如果您在城裡,校園非常值得一遊。午餐時,我們前往當地的 Frostop。 Frostop 是 1950 年代和 60 年代美國的標誌,自 1959 年以來,這家特別的餐廳就以製作美味的漢堡包,熱狗和 Root beer 而聞名。如果您喜歡購物或選擇其他飲食餐廳,請前往鉑爾曼廣場。在廣場上,我們步行幾分鐘到了一個叫”The Market “的市場。這是一個品嚐當地風味的好地方。最後,如果您在 10 月的最後一周來亨廷頓旅遊的話,請前往附近凱諾瓦的南瓜屋,看看展出的幾千個雕刻南瓜。

Charleston West Virginia [7 Must See Attractions]
#westvirginia #travel
Today we are visiting 7 must see attractions in Charleston West Virginia.
You may be surprised to discover that Charleston is such a beautiful destination. It sits in the Kanawha river valley surrounded by forested mountain slopes on all sides. Charleston West Virginia is a place not to be missed when you visit the mountain state.
Today we will be visiting 7 must see attractions in Charleston West Virginia starting with the state capitol building. It is surrounded by monuments, and features a dome covered in gold leaf. One great thing about the West Virginia State Capitol is that you can go inside, something I highly recommend.
The next must see attraction is the West Virginia Veterans Memorial on the capitol grounds. There are actually several monuments to see, one for gold star families, women veterans, and finally one for all the heroes who have died in war.
While on the West Virginia Capitol Building grounds be sure to visit the West Virginia State Museum. This museum is very well put together, and covers the history of West Virginia from pre-historic times through the present day.
From the West Virginia State Museum we go on to the Kanawha river walk. The section directly across the street from the capitol building is very nice, and offers views of the University of Charleston.
Next we are on to the Carriage Trail. This beautiful forested trail has a small park at the bottom, and offers some of the best views of the city at the top.
You may be hungry after climbing the carriage trail, and for that I recommend going to the historic Capital Street in downtown Charleston. There you will find several great restaurants.
Just up the street is the Capital Street Market. This trendy historic market also has a lot of great options for getting something to eat. It is also a great place to get a bottle of wine, some chocolates, or local hand crafts.
We end our visit with two young people who have spent a lot of time working closely with he local community to learn more about the people who live in this beautiful city.
Don't forget to subscribe for more great destinations as videos are made available.
