Learn about Mothman, who haunts Point Pleasant, WV, visit the Cola Museum and Fountain Shop in Marietta, OH, and get your camera out in Augusta, KY, to take beautiful long-range photos of the Ohio River. Ride the incline railways in Pittsburgh and visit the Andy Warhol Museum in this city surrounded by rivers.
