IN order to remain an active museum and to evolve our collection and material the museum does ask a small nominal admission fee of
$3 per person or $5 for a couple/pair.
When we first opened in November of 2011 the museum was a complimentary exhibit for a small diner here in town. The museum has now out lived said diner and is now a separate entity in itself. This is the reason for the amendment in the admission. We hope everyone understands this small change.
Thank You!

Grave City Ghost Walks
TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE
The Grave City Ghost Walk is a trek throughout a select area of Moundsville. Moundsville, known for its dark history makes an interesting area to explore the supernatural. From burial mounds, to a notoriously prison with a bloody past to sights of untimely ends Moundsville has it all.
Moundsville gets it's name from the many burial mounds throughout it's valley and out the surrounding creeks and runs. Some records indicate as many as 10 mounds existed in the area alone. Many of the mounds were destroyed by settlers long ago, however a few remain including the largest conical burial mound in North America, the Grave Creek Mound! The enormous Grave Creek Mound will also be featured along the tour! So join us as we venture throughout the streets of this old river town, which is known by some to be The City of the Dead, as we attempt to experience and incite some of Moundsville's Dark History.
