History, Beauty and Fun
West Virginia, home to rolling hills, beautiful landscapes, and many fun attractions that will make your Winter a blast. The Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau has you covered in the Hancock, and Brooke County areas. The Northern Panhandle may look small, but it is packed full of history, beauty, and fun. All of this is not far away either, being just located off Route 22 from Pittsburgh, and just across the river from Steubenville, Ohio.
Visit Brooke Hills Park or Tomlinson Run State Park to see the breathtaking sight of the trees changing color for Fall. Looking for some Winter activities for the family?
