Wheeling National Heritage Area

The Wheeling National Heritage Area celebrates the city's dramatic setting along the Ohio River, providing experiences in Victorian architecture, waterfront park development, historic city markets, renovated industrial buildings featuring retail shops, restaurants and interpretive exhibits, and West Virginia Independence Hall, the birthplace of the state of West Virginia during the Civil War.

Located on I-70 in West Virginia’s northern panhandle, Wheeling is about an hour from Pittsburgh, PA to the east, and two hours from Columbus to the west.
