The Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History presents an afternoon reception from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. on December 2, 2012, featuring local entertainment and refreshments for visitors. Father Christmas will be dressed in his Victorian-style finery for area children to visit.
The Blennerhassett Museum will be decorated for the holidays. Parents bring your children and cameras to take a photo with Father Christmas.
The Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History opened its doors on April 30, 1988, in response to a long-standing need to preserve, protect and exhibit the region’s history. Although the Daughters of American Pioneers’ log house museum in Parkersburg’s City Park has preserved many artifacts since 1910, its space and visiting hours are severely limited. The next closest museum to the area is in Marietta, Ohio. The Blennerhassett Museum became the first professionally-operated, publicly-funded museum of regional history in west/central West Virginia.
