West Virginia Tourist Information Center

The West Virginia Tourist Information Center is “composed” of three pyramid-shaped skylights (41’ x 41’, 33’ x 33’ and 29’ x 29’) enclosing a large main exhibit hall with the information desk, multi-use exhibit hall with a mezzanine level, and restroom facilities.



The modern skylights are complemented by natural, dry-stacked stone walls, an exposed timber framing system and a split-rail fence along the perimeter of the richly landscaped grounds.



Native West Virginia products were used throughout the project, including hardwood flooring, “Terne” roofing and native fieldstone. Local artisans also have their creations on display. Every year, more than 100,000 people visit the facility, which is located ten miles from the West Virginia/Virginia border at the intersection of I-77 and Co. Hwy. 460.
