Things to do in Charleston

Charleston is West Virginia’s capital and largest city, set where the Elk River meets the Kanawha among steep, wooded hills. State government, energy companies, law firms and the large Charleston Area Medical Center are the city’s major employers, and the Kanawha Valley’s long chemical industry history still shapes its economy. The State Capitol, designed by Cass Gilbert with a gilded dome taller than the U.S. Capitol’s, stands along the riverfront, and the city’s compact downtown includes the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences and the University of Charleston across the river.
