The Belmont County Heritage Museum Marks 200 Years of the National Road with “Milestones and Memories” Event

Two hundred years ago, history was made in Belmont County. On July 4, 1825, construction officially began on the National Road in Ohio—right in downtown St. Clairsville, near the courthouse where life and commerce still thrive today,

The tourism office plans to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the National Road and 10th anniversary of the Belmont County Heritage by inviting the public to a commemorative open house called “Milestones and Memories,” from 4-6 p.m. Thursday at the museum, 101 E. Main St., St. Clairsville.
