Situated on a small island in the Ohio River, Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is a unique state park that features beautifully manicured grounds and a replica of a Palladian Mansion once owned by Harman Blennerhassett, which is now a museum.

Built on the foundations of the original mansion, which burned to the ground decades ago, the Blennerhasset mansion resembles George Washington's Palladian-style Mount Vernon.

Accessed by a traditional sternwheeler riverboat from Point Park, the island and mansion-museum can be explored on guided tours, and horse-drawn carriage rides when the park is open from May through the last weekend of October.

The park also has picnic shelters, bicycle rentals, hiking trails, and a gift shop.
