What to do and see in West Virginia, United States: The Best Shopping

August 10, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

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.

Virtu Art Glass Studio

Reviewed By annamH9019HH - Encinitas, United States

I watched these glass blowers make 5 drinking glasses and I was the only one in the studio. The studio is quite a ways away from the hotel but it is worth the walk to the Art Colony! They have a nice retail shop too. The entire time they were working at the ovens, they were explaining what they were doing. Very interesting and creative.
