6 Historic Sites to Visit Around Morgantown, WV
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.
- 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.

Morgantown, WV: Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Many families honor the time-held tradition of selecting a live Christmas tree. I look forward to it every year! Choosing my own tree got me thinking about the history of the Christmas tree and its origins as part of the holiday season in the United States.
We have 16th-century Christians from Germany to thank for bringing their custom of indoor decorated trees to the United States. While some decorated wood pyramids with evergreen branches and candles, it is believed that Protestant Reformer Martin Luther took things a step further. In an effort to replicate the twinkling stars of the night sky, Luther purportedly added candles to an actual evergreen tree.
While Christmas may look a bit different this year, we can still capture the beauty of the season with a decorated live tree. Join me, along with our real estate agents, in another year of observing this heartwarming tradition with a tree from one of these great sources around Morgantown.

A city park unlike any other, Deegan & Hinkle Lakes Park is a fantastic place to escape to the outdoors without venturing far from home.
