Walking Tours

Wheeling has a long and colorful history. There are two ways to approach it - by walking or driving street by street, or by looking at types of structures, periods of history or other themes. Here is the beginning of a series of thematic lists of worthwhile sights. These are not close enough for walking tours, but some are and will be clumped together later.
