Traveling home on US-35, and having never heard of Mothman, it was a quick side trip to an amazingly historic small town. We browsed downtown until opening time and then entered one of the most unique museums I've ever encountered. Full of local history and trivia, it did its level best to try to link the local legend of Mothman, the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River, UFOs, Men In Black (long before the movies), and the WWII TNT District of West Virginia. Intriguing.

Love the history of this place. It is an original building owned by The Daughters of the Revolution and dates back to pre-revolutionary war. Huge battles were fought here and nearby. We loved exploring the rooms. The upper floor was a favorite of my grandson due to the many artifacts. Very nice park! Just 5 minutes from here is Krodell park. There’s a Fort to explore there ????.
