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.

Home Away From Home: Investing in an RV
After the unexpected and unprecedented challenges we've faced in 2020, our real estate agents think the idea of hitting the open road sounds better than ever. With sales of recreational vehicles hitting record increases of as much as 30 percent, it's clear that people across the country feel the same way.
Dealers estimate that 50 to 80 percent of these sales are by first-time buyers. As a recent addition to the ranks of RV owners, I love how easy it is to get away safely and efficiently for camping, hiking, rock climbing, or just a much-needed break.
Are you ready to #optoutside? Here are some helpful tips about joining RV Nation.

Get Creative With a Backyard Fire Pit
A fire pit is a popular addition to your yard since it creates a cozy gathering spot. And building one lets you get creative as you determine its size, shape, and materials to suit your needs and sense of style.
Our real estate agents suggest looking at the following DIY fire pits for inspiration:
- Inexpensive Fire Pit
From thriftylittlemom.com
You don't necessarily need mortar to build a fire pit from retaining wall blocks, as Kim Anderson of thriftylittlemom.com proves. As long as they're stacked correctly, she says, they'll stay put. Her four-tier fire pit uses a cleared, flat area of her backyard as a bottom, and she broke a block in half to use in the second tier as a way for air to reach the fire.

Where to Celebrate National Nature Photography Day June 15
Thanks to smartphones, you don't need to own an expensive camera to take quality photos. Morgantown homes for sale are surrounded by scenic areas to document in pictures. Head out to these beautiful spots on Monday, June 15 and catch some great shots for National Nature Photography Day.
- Cheat Lake Park - Bunker Hill Rd., Morgantown, WV 26508
At 13 miles long, Cheat Lake Park offers a wide range of photo opportunities. No wakes are permitted in this portion of the lake, which allows for some stunning panorama shots. Your best bet is the 4.5-mile trail that traces the Lake Lynn shoreline. The 12-foot-wide paved walkway is handicap-accessible and affords plenty of space. Be sure to make a stop at the nature viewing on the southern tip of the trail.
