Top 10 Things to do in Wheeling, West Virginia (WV)
Wheeling is a city in Ohio and Marshall counties in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Located almost entirely in Ohio County, of which it is the county seat, it lies along the Ohio River in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Wheeling was originally a settlement in the British colony of Virginia and later an important city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Wheeling was the first state capital of West Virginia. Due to its location along major transportation routes, including the Ohio River, National Road, and the B&O Railroad, Wheeling became a manufacturing center in the late nineteenth century. After experiencing the closing of factories and substantial population loss following World War II, Wheeling's major industries now include healthcare, education, law and legal services, entertainment and tourism, and energy.

Great history of Wheeling and the glass making industry. I had no idea that it was a popular place for glass factories. Great little museum that also explained how the colors are made for each piece. My favorite was watching a glassmaker make a Christmas ornament. The glass shop upstairs had some wonderful pieces for sale.
