1910, on the eastern edge of what is today the museum parking lot. The Starr Grocer Company, prospering, doubled the building s size in the 1 920s, and weathered the Great Depression only to go out of business in the 1940s. The Blennerhassett Museum is a showcase of three floors of priceless history relics and objects of art from the Ohio Valley s past. Exhibits range from prehistoric Indian tools, jewelry, weapons and household items dating 9000 B.C. to paintings, old clothing, guns and military paraphernalia, furniture belonging to W. Va.'s first governor, automobiles of the 19teens, farm implements, 19th-century jewelry and glassware from 60 to 200 years old. Located in a four-story brick building on the corner of Second and Juliana Streets, the museum is only 3 blocks from the Blennerhassett Hotel and 2 short blocks from Point Park from where sternwheelers take visitors on a regular schedule to Blennerhassett Island May through October.
Parking is available adjacent to the museum.
