Historic Sites - Morgantown, WV - Heritage Real Estate Co.

From its perch alongside the Monongahela River, Morgantown has built an incredible history since the area was settled in the late 1700s. Join our real estate agents in celebrating Morgantown's rich tradition. Plan a visit to these historic sites for Heritage Treasures Day on Monday, January 11.

  1. Seneca Center - 709 Beechurst Ave., Morgantown, WV 26505
    Morgantown's past and present meet at Seneca Center, once a major site for the city's robust glass-making industry. Today the center is home to a number of boutiques and offices, but the building retains the brick-lined walls and wooden floors that provide appealing character. The 100-foot glass furnace chimney still stands, as does the distinctive red water tower that signals the center's location. Visit the website for a list of businesses and hours.

  2. Morgantown History Museum - 175 Kirk St., Morgantown, WV 26505
    With its eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues, High Street is the heartbeat of Morgantown. Get a fascinating glimpse of what the spot looked like nearly 75 years ago at Morgantown History Museum. The museum is dedicated to preserving artifacts and documentation of Morgantown's history and sharing them with residents and tourists. Exhibits include a working vintage printing shop and a tribute to native son Don Knotts, best known as Deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show. Hours are 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. 

  3. Dents Run Covered Bridge - U.S. 19, County Rd. 43, Morgantown, WV 26501
    Covered bridges are some of the more charming symbols of Americana. Only 17 covered bridges remain in West Virginia, and Dents Run is the last one standing in Monongalia County, just minutes from Morgantown homes for sale. Built in 1889, the bridge is 13 feet wide and spans 40 feet. Materials for the bridge, including stone and wood, cost a grand total of $448.

  4. Mason-Dixon Historical Park - 79 Buckeye Rd., Core, WV 26541
    Get your history lesson with a side of fresh air and sunshine when you visit Mason-Dixon Historical Park. The 295-acre park is centered around Brown's Hill, which has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.  This is the spot where Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon's legendary four-year, 240-mile mission came to an end. Park trails are open 24/7, so you can hike or snowshoe across the same grounds trod by these famous surveyors.

  5. West Virginia Botanic Garden at Tibbs Run Preserve - 1061 Tyrone Rd., Morgantown, WV 26508
    Morgantown's beautiful natural setting has played a role in the city's history. At West Virginia Botanic Garden, you can walk along trails passing hemlock and rhododendron trees as old as 250 years. The preserve was also the site of Tibbs Run Reservoir, which provided clean water to county residents from 1912 until 1969. Admission is free for all visitors, but donations are greatly appreciated. West Virginia Botanic Garden is open daily from dawn until dusk.

  6. Old Stone House - 313 Chestnut St., Morgantown, WV 26505
    While it's the site of a popular gift shop today, the Old Stone House has served a variety of purposes during its long life. The house is the oldest stone dwelling in Monongalia County, dating back to approximately 1795. Occupants have included potters, tanners, tailors, and ministers. In 1972, the Old Stone House was listed in the National Register of Historic Sites. Hours are 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Friday and noon - 4 p.m. weekends.
