Great history on the island.  Enjoyed the Island Belle sternwheeler ride and the docents are very knowledgeable.  The attention to detail of the mansion and furnishings allows a step back into the time period.  Don't pass up the Putnam-Houser House tour and look for the names in the window glass panes.  Must see for any lover of Ohio Valley history.

This is probably the best way to spend a day in Parkersburg. It's best to spend the $25 for the full package deal. You get a ticket on the sternwheeler to the island, a guided tour of the (replica) Blennerhassett Manor, and a horse drawn carriage ride. Each of these activities will provide you with history about the Ohio river, the island, and local history. 
The island is great even for a relaxing walk or picnic with the family. And tickets to the island are only $5
Note: dogs are allowed on the island but not near the carriages or in any of the buildings.

It would be nice to note on your web site if the ferry is not running. Would save a trip for people traveling from out of town. Or at lease placing a recorded message on your phone line if the ferry is not running.

Very informative and knowledgeable tour guides. Everyone from the sternwheel operators to the Island volunteers and employees were kind and courteous. Really enjoyed visiting the Island and hearing it's history.

Went to buy tickets for boat ride only to discover the island is closed for maintenance on the boat. Closed until August 6. It would be nice if someone would update the website site.
