Ohio River Panorama

We spent a pleasant day today. We did the factory tour at Fenton Glass in Williamstown, WV, then drove to Parkersburg. Lunched at a nice cafe, The Daily Grind, went to the Blennerhasset Museum, and stopped at Fort Boreman. Tucked in the Museum basement were display cases filled with prehistoric Indian stone tools and weapons, all hand labeled on yellowing paper in old style calligraphy. The labels must have been 70 or so years old. Some one put a lot of time into the history. The second floor had "A Century of Wedding Dresses" and river boat memoribilia - and some very cool old desks, several of which would look good in my house.

The pano was taken from Ft. Boreman on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River. Spectacular view of Belpre and Parkersburg, as well as miles of the Ohio.
