The clock tower is pretty amazing with a pyramidal roof, four doomed buttresses, stone molds over the four clocks and tower windows, arcade belfry, and quatrefoil design. It is connected to the two-story jailhouse that was built in an Italianate style in 1881. The courthouse is actually the fourth one built on the site. Up until 1881, the courtyard was the site of the public whipping post, stocks and pillories. Today the courtyard is used for public meetings, street fairs, political rallies, and markets. I don't know about you, but I prefer the new functions here. There is metered street parking with many options for restaurants and bars and retail shopping nearby.

The lady at window #1 told me since I traded my old car in for the new one in July my tax ticket did not include the new car but it did include the car I traded in. The lady then told me I had to go to the County Court house, while chewing on food and get an affidavit that I didn't owe any taxes on my new car. I told her I couldn't have anything due because the new car was purchased after I paid my taxes I trade cars every 3 years and have never had a problem with a tax receipt listing the vehicle that I had traded in. My recommendation is to not go to the DMV in Sabarton unless it's absolutely necessary. I went to Sheetz, got my registration, no waiting or incompetent people to deal with. I will use the on line registration or the registration kiosk at Krogers or Sheetz in the future. I suggest you do the same.

They should be cherished, respected and protected. Thank you Morgantown Public Library for helping achieve and succeed!

There is a really nice picnic area available near the parking lot. It has a number of picnic tables, a shelterhouse, and a clean restroom. This is a take your trash out with you park, but they do offer bags for you to put them in. From the picnic area, you can head up the hill to see the house, which can be toured, and you can also walk around the grounds, which also contains 10 miles of trails. So why is this a historic site? It was the wilderness home of Albert Gallatin, a lesser known figure from the US government in the late 1700s. The location is beautiful - there's a nice overlook behind the house that has a historic gazebo and looks out over the river. The section of trail that starts behind the house lets you get a glimpse at a number of interesting historical and natural sights: an old growth forest full of towering trees, the grave site of Gallatin's first wife, Sophia, a pond which had a number of turtles, a meadow area that was full of beautiful butterflies, and more.

Don Knotts was born and raised in Morgantown, went to school at West Virginia University, and started his career as a ventriloquist at the Metropolitan Theatre in downtown Morgantown. His statue sits outside of the theatre building. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would guess that Don is probably one of the most famous people to come out of this West Virginia town. Certainly the most famous person from Morgantown to wear ascots and polyester leisure suits on television. The statue is on a busy one-way street, but you'll need to park across the street at one of the metered spots, or in one of the parking lots. This is a busy college town, so finding parking can be a chore, but Ralph Furley is worth the little bit of effort.
