Wow! Really cool! Great collections from members of the community. The artifacts give you insight into daily life from the frontier days all the way through the 20th century. Starting the May 2nd you can get a boat out to the Island where I’m sure there is even more great stuff to see. Cost for the museum I paid was $4; easy money.

Very nice and a family fun place to visit. Can also have a wedding there. Very beautiful in the fall. Does have flushable toliets and water stations as well as a gift shop. Can bring your own lunch for a picnic...lots of tables. Only can get there by boat. I would recommend to visit the museum before you visit the island.

Parking is a little confusing if you've never been. The museum is amazing! There are multiple floors accessible by stairs or an elevator. Restrooms on site as well as a gift shop. The gentleman at the front desk where we purchased our package tickets was very friendly and helpful!

This place is a must stay if you want to stay in a beautiful period classic hotel. The food, staff, bar, nighty entertainment, dinner room outside patio were all done top shelf with making feel relaxed and pampered. The room was very clean and extremely comfortable to be in. I enjoyed the stay here because they made me feel relaxed the minute I arrived. I can't to book another relaxing stay again.

3 stories of artifacts and information. A lot to see! Wish we could have gone when the nearby market was open. It's so pretty to walk down river side. Definitely coming back to enjoy a longer time next time!

Interesting museum full of a myriad of historical artifacts with an emphasis on Blennerhassett Island and it's occupants. Well worth the $4.00 (per person) admission.

Incredible journey from start to finish! From the sternwheel boat ride to the island, horse drawn wagon tour, and mansion tours to the enthusiastically knowledgeable folks working there, you won't be disappointed. I'd definitely recommend a day at The Blennerhassets'.
