Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
West Virginians are crazy about the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, voting it the Best Unique Attraction in the state this year. Not only is it the largest hand-cut stone masonry building in North America, but it’s also believed to be one of the most haunted places in the country. You can tour this National Historic Landmark and learn about all the ways the institution for the mentally ill left an impression on Weston and the state. 50 South River Avenue, Weston, 304.269.5070, trans-alleghenylunaticasylum.com, @trans-alleghenylunaticasylum on Facebook
