- Comments Off on Escape, Discover, and Play in Greater Parkersburg
With the majestic Ohio River as a backdrop, we invite you to come escape, discover and play in Greater Parkersburg.
Just south of Parkersburg, West Virginia, you’ll feel like Tom Sawyer as you paddle down river in an authentic sternwheeler to Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park.
Listening to the steady churning of the engine and feeling the occasional spray of the paddle wheel, you’ll be quietly lulled into believing you’ve escaped every care in the world. The mystery and romance that shrouds the island’s original owners is intriguing and entertaining. As you tour the exquisite mansion you will hear the tale of Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett and their ill-fated relationship to Aaron Burr that eventually cost them their beloved paradise. Visitors to the island (open May-October) also enjoy wagon rides and the mansion’s sprawling lawns.
Back on the mainland continue your exploration into the region’s history [...]

- Comments Off on The Historic General Lewis Inn: Go Back in Time
The Historic General Lewis Inn, opened in 1929 as an antique furnished hotel with a white linen dining room open to the public, continues the traditions of service, attitude, and quality begun by the Hock family. It remains in the same family and though providing air conditioning, WiFi, and flat screen TVs today, we celebrate the traditional values associated with our beginning.
Located three blocks from downtown Lewisburg in a residential neighborhood, all the pleasantries of an historic district with an artistic slant, including a performing Carnegie Hall, Greenbrier Valley Professional Theater, galleries, shops, even an authentic Irish Pub, are an easy walk should our guests chose to leave the Gardens or the rocking chairs on the porch. We’re an easy escape to a human focused world.
