Henderson is a river town with a wide-open horizon, set at the meeting point of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. Residents enjoy easy access to neighboring Point Pleasant for dining, services, and festivals, while still coming home to quiet streets and water views. History is close at hand at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park, where the State of Virginia militia fought the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, now preserved at the confluence through the beautifully maintained grounds of Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. Family time is a staple at Krodel Park’s walking trails and fishing lake, and the area’s folklore comes alive at the Mothman Museum. Engineering fans can add weekend stops to the Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam, a working riverway marvel operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Families benefit from strong public options through Mason County Schools, supported by the West Virginia Department of Education, with nearby campuses in Point Pleasant serving many Henderson students. Lifelong learning continues at the Mason County Library’s Point Pleasant branch, offering programs for all ages. Commuters appreciate swift connections via US-35 and WV-2 to job centers in Huntington and Charleston, while living within the community-focused pace of Mason County.
