West Virginia State Museum
History Museum · Charleston, West Virginia
The state museum, in the Culture Center on the Capitol grounds at Charleston, rebuilt in 2009 as a single chronological walk from the Appalachian seabed through the frontier, the Civil War separation from Virginia, the coal camps and the twentieth century. It is a sequence of built environments rather than a hall of cases — you walk through a mine portal, a company store and a railway carriage — and it is free.
