The Mountaineer Military Museum, located at 345 Center Avenue in Weston, WV... was founded on a "PROMISE" made by the Museum's owner at the graveside of his best friend lost during the Vietnam War. As a pall-bearer, he said, "I PROMISE that I'll never let anyone forget you." That "PROMISE" is the underlying theme of the Museum as you view the 700 square feet of "Personal Stories" of local Veterans who have served and sacrificed for their country. The remaining 2,200 square feet of the Museum houses artifacts, dioramas, and numerous static displays of items ranging from the Civil War to our current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Museum also hosts the annual "VET-TOGETHER" on the Saturday prior to Memorial Day. The festivities begin with participating in the city's Memorial Day Parade and ends with a Remembrance Program and catered luncheon on the Museum's grounds. For information about the Museum's hours or about participating in the "VET-TOGETHER", contact: Barb McVaney, Executive Director, at : (304) 516-0800.
