Review:

Moundsville is a quaint city in Marshall County, West Virginia, named in honor of the nearby indigenous Grave Creek Mound, constructed by the people of the Adena culture.

Visitors can explore the National Historic Landmark archaeological site, which preserve one of the nation's largest conical burial grounds, and learn about area indigenous culture at the Delf Norona Museum.

The West Virginia State Penitentiary, constructed in 1876 and closed in 1995, offers guided tours and overnight experiences, preserved as a living history museum.

The unique Prabhupada's Palace of Gold, designed for the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, showcases ornate marble halls, rushing fountains, and lushly-landscaped gardens.

Other attractions include the occult-centric Archive of the Afterlife, the ziplines and aerial experiences of Grand Vue Park, and the historic Anna B. Smith House, home to extensive exhibits of Fostoria Glass.
