A list of the historic sights are Harpers Ferry, Blackwater Falls, Seneca Caverns and West Virginia State Capitol. There are many adventurous activities that can be done in WV which is Snowshoe, White Water Rafting and Bungee Jumping off of the New River Gorge Bridge.
In the state we are well known for the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The Asylum is a well-known landmark that was a treatment hospital for the mentally ill. There are many others that visit during the time of Halloween for the haunted house that’s located right beside the Asylum and the haunted tour through the asylum. The greenbrier resort is well known to have famous individuals such as Tiger Woods, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Princess Grace of Monaco, and has hosted 26 presidents.
I do believe that West Virginia is worth coming to visit and explore all the landmarks. There are many things that you can go and explore.
