Things are only somewhat different today. We need to learn from our past mistakes. Thank you for taking the time to sit down and speak to us Dr. Maddox you are a very inspiring man. You opened my eyes not only to history. But how to look at my life not just through someone's else's eyes but to my own. You are correct when you say," Everyone has a story to tell." Wouldn't be great if we could all sit down and listen to everyone's story peacefully? Thank you again the visit to your museum is the highlight of my trip home. G-d bless you.

Adults love it because there is some interesting history plus the trolley ride! A huge plus is that this location is Autism certified and they really mean it. Every staff person has been trained and are knowledgeable about their programs that they offer and are great at what they do. The museum was recently redone and has a lot of interactive exhibits and fun historical displays. There is a lot to read and learn, or kids can just enjoy the game aspect of some of the exhibits. When you exit the museum, you are at the trolley stop and can take a ride on the trolleys! They depart twice an hour (check the schedule when you are getting your tickets). The day I visited they had a New Orleans car and another that were alternating rides. It was fun to take the fairly quick round trip and get some additional information about trolleys. There is another building beyond the trolley tracks that has a large variety of trolleys from various eras and in various states of repair. You can walk through some of them and others you can just look at. There is also the famous Mr. Roger's Trolley. They have a lot of fun special events (like Santa and Easter Bunny trolleys). I highly recommend a visit here for people of all ages and interests!

I was so extremely excited to see this Historical Vaudeville Theater. Located on one of the main…read morethoroughfares in Wheeling on Market Street, it shines like a gleaming diamond in the sunlight. First opened it's doors in 1904, this means it is 115 yrs old this year. The longest running, operating theater in West Virginia. This 800 seat Victorian Masterpiece is Registered a Historic Landmark In 1934, it became home to the Jamboree which is the 2nd longest running show in the USA. It's Beaux-arts influence in architecture is stunning. I waa so happy to stumble across this beauty.

I was in a few shows when I lived here and I saw many more - always enjoyable productions. There's usually a show every 1-2 months. If you're interested in theatre, you'll definitely want to see or audition for a show at Towngate, part of the Oglebay Institute. They do a fair mix of shows-everyone-has-heard-of, obscure stuffs and original work.

Their snack bar was okay. It's really the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I was very glad they had coffee, but the cup was really small. I would have paid more for a larger cup. I might have had tea, but they only offer Lipton tea bags. Towngate is trying to raise funds for repairs on their building, so I know they can't spend an arm and a leg on refreshments. However, I wonder if they could get some donations from one of the local coffee shops, sell the beverage for more, and raise more funds. All in all, still looking forward to seeing more movies there, and I will still order a coffee (maybe two).

I would not call this place a museum in the same sense as the Pittsburgh Children's Museum. I believe the name is misleading and it should be called a play space. As a play space this place would get 4 stars but as a museum it would get one star. I averaged that and gave it 3 stars for affordability. The place is basically one big room but it has some walls to divide the space up a little. They have animal alley with a tarantula, fish, lizard, turtle, and a snake. They have a climbing wall, craft area, chalkboard, train table, and a sand table. One of the cooler stations is the lego station as they have a good collection of lego parts. They also have a station with an Ipad attached where one can video tape their actions and replay them. They have the bigger lego blocks in some small bins. They have the blue imagination blocks for constructing as well. My kids the loved the dress-up outcove the most as they have a kitchen and numerous outfits to put on. They have a small house type structure to climb steps. My 3 year old walked up it and was disappointed to not see a slide. All in all this place is a decent place to play on rainy or cold days. It is open enough to let the kids run around while one relaxes a little. Bring your own food and drink. There is a hot dog stand across the street and a restaurant on the corner. If you are traveling and need a place for kids to run around and be engaged then this place is better than the playspace at Burger King in St. Clairesville.

The seats, food, and theater itself was really well designed, but one particular staff member (Tristan) really ruined our visit. She was extremely rude when selling us concessions at the register, and kept rushing us. I then asked how to sign up to be a rewards member and she said she's not sure I'll have to speak to the general manager next week. Immediately after that, we went to the self serve popcorn machine (which is super cool!), and as I was filling up my popcorn Tristan must not have realized I was there, and started complaining and making fun of us with another coworker. I don't think I'd ever come back due to Tristan's attitude, but I do give props to whoever designed the theater.
