    Criel Mound - Indian Mound Historical Marker at Criel Mound, South Charleston

    Criel Mound

    If you're cruising through South Charleston and spot a big grassy hill tucked between antique shops…read moreand quiet streets, that's the Criel Mound. It's worth a stop. It's not flashy, but there's something grounding about standing next to a structure built over 2,000 years ago by the aboriginal people. The steps leading up are wide and gentle, and once you reach the top, you get a surprisingly peaceful view of the neighborhood. It's a quick visit. The mound itself is steeped in mystery and history. Archaeologists found 13 skeletons inside, including a central figure surrounded by others. There's a small park around the mound with interpretive signs that give you just enough context to spark curiosity. Some locals say horse races were once held around it, and there's even talk of burials that might represent alliances between different tribes. It's wild to think about how much has happened on that patch of earth, and how little we still know. The Criel Mound stands to quietly anchor the town. Kids run up the steps, people are walking dogs, and there's me, pausing to read the plaques. There is a sense of reverence here if you feel it. It's not at all a playground.

    The Criel Mound is a historic and cultural gem nestled in South Charleston, WV…read more The small park which houses it has plenty of street parking available and several interpretive signs around the mound explaining its history, importance, and what archaeologists discovered inside the mound when excavating. The mound is the second largest Adena mound in West Virginia and is believed to have been developed between 250 and 150 B.C. The Criel Mound was originally one of 50 mounds and prehistoric earthworks located in WV but unfortunately most have since been destroyed due to industrialization. It's definitely worth a visit (plan on about 30 minutes) if you're in the area.

    The best playground to take young children to in Charleston, WV…read more I'm creating this business so any parents with young children who end up visiting Charleston, WV know that a fantastic playground exists. My MIL first sent us to another park that had a super rinky dink playground. I told my husband, text your cousin, he'll know the best playground in the area. Thank god we did, because he directed us here. Driving up I was a little concerned, because it is in the heart of a run down area. However, when we were there at 11 a.m. on a Thursday, it was completely empty. By the end one family came and joined, but I was surprised how few people were here. (I had the same thought at the Clay Center, so I've just accepted that I have no idea where the young children of Charleston are.) I just read online that it was recently renovated. No wonder it looked pretty modern and clean. None of that mulch on that ground that gives you splinters when it breaks your fall. There are two playgrounds so my kids (two and four) ran back and forth between the two. There's also a picnic area in the middle that is covered. Definitely bring sunscreen. I was surprised there's no trees or any type of covering. However, that seems to be the norm here, because the other playground didn't have any type of covering either. Being from out of town, I'm used to lots of shade at playground, so I'm glad I brought sunscreen. Parking is street parking, but there is tons of it. The park is fenced so that made it feel a little safer as well. This will be my go-to park every time we visit.
