WV State Capitol

With its gleaming gold dome and stately riverfront location, the West Virginia State Capitol is a must-stop in Charleston. Tour the marble-floored interior, peek into the grand rotunda, and explore the adjacent West Virginia State Museum, home to immersive exhibits and more than 6,000 artifacts. You’ll find everything from coal mining history to Civil War relics to vintage toys. For a tour of the Governor’s Mansion, reservations are required.
