Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park
Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, Historical plantation on an Ohio River island in Wood County, United States.
The 511-acre state park features a reconstructed Palladian mansion with architectural elements similar to Mount Vernon on the island's foundation.
In 1805, the island gained national attention as the headquarters for Aaron Burr's military expedition before its subsequent abandonment.
The mansion regularly hosts educational programs where guides in period clothing demonstrate daily activities from the early 1800s.
Visitors reach the island via a 20-minute sternwheeler riverboat ride from Point Park in Parkersburg, operating from May through October.
The three-story Blennerhassett Museum displays regional artifacts spanning from prehistoric times through early European settlement of the Ohio Valley.
