The greater Parkersburg area is rich in culture and history, and the Parkersburg-Marietta community has plenty to offer! Ride down the mighty Ohio River on an authentic sternwheeler and have a picnic lunch on historic Blennerhassett Island. Visit museums, tour the local chocolatier and pasta maker's shops, learn the art of glassmaking, or take to the Rail Trails on your mountain bike. Add this to nearby skiing, golf, camping, fishing, whitewater rafting, boating, and hiking and the choices are endless!
The local area also offers a variety of concerts, cultural events, festivals, theatres, shopping malls, road races, and other attractions. Centrally located, Ohio Valley University is only a short drive from several large metropolitan areas and major league sporting events.
