We love history around here, and in West Virginia, we definitely have more than our fair share of it. But certain sites stand out above the rest as especially worthy of time and attention for their place in history, and one of those is Henderson Hall.
Situated in West Virginia's Ohio Valley, Henderson Hall presides over two thousand years of history. With three ancient burial mounds on site as well as significant contributions to the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War eras, Henderson Hall is a historian's paradise.
The exact address of Henderson Hall is 517 Old River Road in
Williamstown.
Self-guided tours of Henderson Hall are well worth your while, and they start at only $5 for students and $10 for adults (children 6 and under are free). The museum is open March through December from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays.
Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more or school groups.
Also make sure to keep an eye on all the events offered at Henderson Hall throughout the year, including but not limited to the popular Civil War reenactments.
The Henderson Heritage Village provides a variety of demonstrations, including glass blowing, blacksmithing, wood carving, spinning, and even a barn loom.
There's also a colonial garden full of heirloom fruits and vegetables just like what might have been grown here 250 years ago.
Although there's something new and interesting to see here in each season of the year, fall is especially beautiful at Henderson Hall, so stop by next time you are in the area and get to know this amazing old mansion and its secrets!
You can come by car, of course... OR, you can choose to arrive in style via a historic trolley ride or a river cruise.
