Francis Harrison Pierpont - The Father of West Virginia

$25.00

An active supporter of Abraham Lincoln, Pierpont became more involved in politics as an outspoken opponent of Virginia's secession from the Union. When Virginia seceded and entered the war, delegates from the northwestern counties of Virginia, which refused to join the Confederacy, met at the Wheeling Convention. Declaring that their elected officials had abandoned their posts, a rump government was established in Wheeling, with Pierpont as the provisional Governor.

Under Pierpont's leadership, the Wheeling government called for a popular vote on the question of the creation of a new separate state.

Soon after, West "BEST" Virginia was born.

DOUGHBOY

$26.00

He’s a familiar figure to most Wheeling residents.

After all, he has stood guard vigilantly at Wheeling Park for more than eighty years — grenade in one hand, [part of a] rifle in the other. He even inspired a 2011 motion picture featuring a lot of local sets and actors.

He’s made of pressed copper forged at McCurdy’s Monument Works on Chapline Street, and his faded green patina and missing bits and pieces evince the passage of time.

STEEL VALLEY - WOMEN'S SCOOP NECK

$25.00

The steel industry is one of the main industries that truly brought our valley to life. The rich history, traditions, and community building deserves a nod.
