The Museum in the Park Is Hiding In The Underrated Chief Logan State Park In West Virginia

There is a park near Logan that has more than just hiking and camping. There is a museum that is a historic catalog of the area’s history.

The Museum in the Park at Chief Logan State Park is a local museum that reflects the history of the area in which the park is located.

The museum celebrates the history of settlers and Native Americans in the region, in addition to coal mining heritage.

Inside is a recreation of a 19th century general store, complete with period objects and artifacts.

You can also view the glass gallery, which is comprised of locally made hand-blown glass, the streaming light of the windows reflecting the unique colors of each piece.

The museum also hosts a number of events, including Frontier Days, in which reenactors create a mirror of life during the frontier time period in the region.

Have you ever visited the Museum in the Park? Feel free to comment below and tell us about your visit.
