Eager to meet some locals? That shouldn't be an issue. 51,000 people call this corner of Southern West Virginia home.

Places to visit in Charleston

University of Charleston has long been fertile ground for innovative ideas, visionary research and future leaders. See if you can roam its historic halls and mingle with students on a guided tour. Seeking some more options? Soap, shampoo and toothpaste are some of the basics you need when on vacation. But — if you happen to forget your toiletries, you'll probably find what you need at Charleston Town Center. And that's not all there is. Get together with like-minded people and get ready to be inspired at one of the conferences or other events held at Avampato Discovery Museum.
