Below: Lee and Karen Duquette stopped at the West Virginia State Museum. But because there was a charge to enter the building, and they were not sure they would have enough time to see the museum and the State Capitol Building, so they did not pay to go inside.

Although this is the second time that Lee and Karen Duquette have been to Charleston West Virginia and visited memorials and the State Capitol Building, each experience was different. The first time was in June 2021.

NEXT PAGE ARROW Please continue on to Memorials, Monuments, and Statues in West Virginia . This is the second time that Lee and Karen Duquette have been to this area, and so photos from both trips have been put on the same page, even though quite often the 2021 and 2025 photos are of the same item, each one appears a bit different. There is also some important history about the Monuments and Memorials on the page.
