There are plenty of shopping options in West Virginia, but none that are quite so uniquely assorted or housed in a building full of such character as the collection of specialty shops found in the Seneca Center in Morgantown.
From hair salons to a floral shop, from a quilt shop to a soap and candle gift shop, from private offices to publishing companies, from spas to human services to bicycle and athletic shops, from a patio builder to clothing boutiques to a tea room and more, the Seneca Center is a delightful hodgepodge of local small businesses, offering a little bit of everything all under one roof.

For almost one hundred years, the Seneca Glass Company produced lead crystal: hand blown, hand-cut, hand-etched lead crystal, some of the finest in America. Built in 1898, the Seneca Glass Company manufacturing plant operated until 1983.

Shoppers can peruse the variety of goods and services for sale within these walls, and while they shop, also see some remnants of the past: Seneca Glass Company glass manufacturing tools and a variety of murals depicting the glass making process.

Both the 100-foot tall glass furnace chimney and the old red water tower, other remnants from the center’s glass making days, also still stand proudly overlooking all the hustle and bustle of activity that now fills these walls once again with life and industry.
