Very interesting and well-maintained museum to complement the burial mound which oddly enough is right in the middle of town!

Worth a visit. The museum seems a bit lost as to telling the story I want to hear. How many and where in the mound and when were buried here. Did the finding get shipped somewhere else? You can...

We came to see the burial mound and were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful museum. We were greeted by a delightful local hostess who shared her love and knowledge of the area history as only a life-long resident could. The museum provided a thoughtful perspective on human endeavor along the Ohio River through the ages. The West Virginia Penitentiary across the street provided another unexpected and unforgettable experience - tip: if you're pressed for time, skip the 90 minute prison tour and just walk around. It's permitted, and it's free, and 10 or 15 minutes in this horrible place is about all a rational person can take.

This is an awesome maybe overlooked stop. First it’s FREE! Secondly it has a great museum part that looks nots only at the Mounds but other wonderful things about West Virginia, from toys to glassware/fiesta ware, and all the archeological finds. Then you can take a hike up the mounds to the top we’re you have a beautiful view of the surrounding area and them immense size of the mound itself. Would certainly recommend this sight to anyone.
