This is a map of West Virginia. Harrisville is located midway between Parkersburg and Clarksburg on Interstate Route 50. Exit at Ellenboro and drive 4 miles south on Route 16 to Harrisville. We are three blocks further west than the Thomas Harris Museum, on the road to North Bend Sate Park. Memorial Street is labeled at the road. It is the third left hand turn after the Thomas Harris Museum. Please remember that our streets are very little. We have a large, gray barn siding house-shaped rural mail box. E-Mail us for a more complete narrative of our location.
In the spring of 2006 after heavy rains the North Bend fishingboat docks are floating at the edge of the boat ramps. This view of the lake is about two miles from our house.
The north view of our Log House is what you will see as you come down the driveway. The oldest part of the house was probably built in the 1780's by Pioneer Moats. We started working on the restoration in 1974. More than 30 years later we're still working.
North Bend Golf Course is three blocks north of our house. This nine hole course is open to the public and has both clubs and carts that you can rent; and a club house that serves simple breakfasts and sandwiches. For more information you can phone (304) 643 2206. Their address is 945 West High Street, Harrisville, West Virginia 26362.
