Charleston is rich in history and culture. The Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences provides a realm of activities for visitors and residents to explore. Our community offers several beautiful golf courses, public swimming pools, tennis courts, boating activities, public parks, its own Class A baseball team, and historic sights for citizens and visitors to enjoy. The city offers a variety of fine cuisine with four and five star rated restaurants. Bookstores, art galleries, specialty shops, and quaint cafes border tree-lined streets in our downtown area. The Kanawha River meanders through the valley and mountains surrounding the capital city. The river is the trademark of commercial and recreational activity. Take a look at Charleston!
