  We went to Point Pleasant for the Mothman Museum and decided to go to this one as well -really glad we did! It was very interesting and informative (more so than the Mothman, actually). Historically relevant, with impressive artifacts -and also area fish (gar, buffalo) in a large tank!Everyone was very helpful and polite, and it is a hands-on museum so great for kids (and kid-like adults...).

  On one of my many trips to visit my aunt in Pt. Pleasant, I traveled to the River Museum. I was really impressed with the variety of exhibits and friendly staff. I learned things about that area that I never was aware of growing up just 2 hours upriver. The museum covers the meeting of the two rivers, what life on the river was like, the types of fish that inhabit that region and also covers the Silver Bridge tragedy.I feel that it is well worth the price and time it takes to cover the fine exhibits, and the staff is very knowledgeable.

  The Point Pleasant River Museum on Main Street is well worth the price of admission. It has a sophisticated river navigation simulator on which you can try out several different kinds of river craft. The people at the museum are very nice and knowledgeable. There is a large section covering the Silver Bridge disaster on the second floor. The video presentation is quite informative. Should you pass through Pt. Pleasant, do not miss this attraction.

  Like people who live in NY I was guilty of not paying attention to what was in my own town. Did not go to this little museum until had been open a couple years. If you like history and especially river history there is much to see in a relatively small building. Mr. Fowler and his staff have done a wonderful job with exhibits. I probably liked it more than some because I have lived in the area for many years and knew some of the people shown in the pictures and exhibits. I would strongly urge anyone with a love of history to make this a stop if in the area and as a bonus there is a small state park just across the street at the confluence of the Kanawha and Ohio rivers that also has an original log cabin full of period exhibits.

  This is one of the best places I've ever taken the family to. The kids could touch almost everything in the museum. It was also very informative. The lady behind the counter was extremely nice. I'm ready to go back.

  Was pleasant as well as informative, enjoyed the beautiful models. Appreciated that the name of the model maker was included with the information placques. Good film. Wish I had slotted more time to browse the museum.

  This quaint town offers a wonderful history lesson without the boring teachers to tell it....Part of this adventure was to learn everything we could about this town.
