BLENNERHASSETT
ISLAND

Experience
BLENNERHASSETT ISLAND

Ride the graceful sternwheel
paddleboat “Island Belle” to an
island of discovery and intrigue on
Blennerhassett Island. Learn about the
tragic tale of Harman and Margaret
Blennerhassett, Irish aristocrats,
who settled on the island in 1798,
constructed a grand mansion and
became embroiled in a treasonous
plot with Aaron Burr that led to
their downfall. From tours of the
reconstructed mansion by docents
dressed in period attire to covered
wagon tours, a trip to Blennerhassett
Island Historic State Park is an
entertaining adventure for the
entire family.

Riverfront Park

Riverfront Murals Dazzle

The Point Pleasant Riverfront Park not only showcases
a gorgeous river view and outdoor amphitheater,
but also features artistic “living history” lessons with
the floodwall murals.
The murals, which were created by artist Robert
Dafford, bring local history to life in the form of
breathtaking art. The murals measure 260
feet-long and are approximately 15 feet high.
The scenes depict many events, including the Battle of Point Pleasant. This section of the
mural encompasses over 2,000 large-scale figures that show the Indians and Americans who
fought during the historic event, which is considered by many to be the first battle of the
American Revolution. Additional mural scenes include Lord Dunmore’s War, George
Washington and the Shawnee Indian Village.
