Things to do in West Virginia, United States: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
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.

It is hard with one review only to give enough credit for who run this place . Quality matters. If you are looking for quality, from the wine selection , to the cakes or a sandwiches ( made with fresh and esclusive ingredients not easy to find these days ) this is the place you want to go. Pizzetta on Friday and Saturday is excellent and it became a tradition for loyal customers. The cheese selection is impressive ( I personally believe most of the ‘’ bottega ‘’= little supermarket in Europe , it has not the selection Good Mansion Wine has) Last but not least: Kindness matters in this difficult period for human relationships: this place makes the clock go back when discussing over a glass of wine or a meal was normal. Highly recommend the wine taste.

Stopped in Shepherdstown after completing the Junior Ranger badge at Antietam. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local cafe then drove to check out the Main Street. We stopped here and were very pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of local and American made art and gifts! Brenda was super helpful, too! Will definitely return next time we are in the area.

The is the “go to” place in Martinsburg for top quality chocolates. It’s a lovely shop, and a great place to pick up excellent chocolates. The truffles are awesome, but everything is good. Most of the chocolates are made on site, but they also have packaged candies kids love, like candy necklaces, Pop Rocks, and others. This store is a great holiday stop. I’m going tomorrow to pick up Valentine candy. They have extended hours around the holidays, which makes it easy to get in there during the work week.

"HAPPINESS GROWS HERE!" If you are looking for a neighborhood farm market, you must stop by Orr's Farm Market. A family owned farm...we offer great in season fruits and veggies, as well as Pick-Your-Own on some crops. Our market has a nice selection of jams and specialty food products as well. Bakery on-site.

Best pumpkin patch I’ve been to. The patch is so big so there are lots of pumpkins to choose from, and the food at the farmer’s market is always AMAZING. There is also a play area for kids, a corn maze, hayrides to and from the patch, and a barnyard with all kinds of adorable animals!! Staff is incredibly friendly and it’s always such a great experience. It’s fairly inexpensive too, the most expensive wrist band is $10 and gets you access to the whole farm and activities, plus a free large pumpkin! My fiancé had a great time here today.

Look for the trademark line green and purple on the old house. Artworks has a temporary location in downtown. Lotus has filled the shop with unique. one of a kind items which are great for gifts. You will likely find something for yourself that you can't resist. They have jewelry, pottery, elves, snowmen, tea towels, soap, and still do custom framing.
