Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The East End Historic District is an eclectic, diverse community, one of the oldest in Charleston. Bordered by the busy Washington Street on the north and Great Kanawha River on the south, this neighborhood is a charming mix of new businesses and old mansions, and it also features the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences of West Virginia, the State Capitol, the Capitol Market, the West Virginia Power baseball team, delightful B&Bs and grand hotels, popular bars, and great restaurants. If you are wondering what to do in Charleston today, this is a great place to start exploring.

Its architecture ranges in styles from Greek Revival to the late Victorian and anything in between. It is vibrant, fun, and timeless. The best time to visit the East End is during the Street Works Celebration when the city streets turn into a spectacular art gallery.
