A visit to Wheeling National Heritage Area gives tourists an opportunity to explore historical Victorian buildings, walk along the waterfront of the Ohio River, indulge in a delicious meal, or spend the afternoon doing a bit of shopping. The city is home to the West Virginia Independeance Hall, the location of the state’s birthplace during the Civil War. Located at the base of the Appalachian Mountains, Wheeling started out as a British settlement before becoming the state’s first capital. Although, much of the industry and population dwindled after World War II, it remains a popular place for tourists.
