Mason County pairs river-town history with day-to-day ease, stretching from fertile bottomlands to wooded hills along the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers. In Point Pleasant, the past feels present at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park, commemorating the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant at the rivers’ meeting point. Downtown, murals, seasonal festivals, and the famed Mothman lore add local color, while family-friendly parks, boat launches, and markets keep weekends full without leaving the county.
Families appreciate the commitment to learning through Mason County Schools, which includes Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High, Wahama Junior/Senior High, and Hannan Junior/Senior High. Strong community support, career and technical opportunities, and spirited academics and athletics give students plenty of ways to thrive, from classroom labs to Friday night lights.
Outdoor time comes easy at lakes, trails, and wildlife areas, with fishing and paddling on the Ohio, hunting and birding across the county, and living-history fun at the West Virginia State Farm Museum. Healthcare and wellness are anchored by Pleasant Valley Hospital. For commuters or day trips, regional hubs like Huntington and across-the-river Gallipolis are close, as are job centers in Putnam County, making it easy to balance small-town living with broader opportunities.
