Sunrise Museum Location Correction: Wheeling, Not Charleston, West Virginia

The Sunrise Museum—now operating as the Oglebay Institute's Towngate Theatre & Cinema within the Oglebay Resort complex—is located in Wheeling, West Virginia, not Charleston. This correction addresses a common confusion between West Virginia's two most prominent cities.

Correct Address

Oglebay Institute / Towngate Theatre
713 National Road
Wheeling, WV 26003

Context

• Wheeling: Ohio River city in northern panhandle; former state capital (1863–1870, 1875–1885); Oglebay Resort (1,700 acres) houses multiple cultural facilities.
• Charleston: Current state capital (since 1885), southern, Kanawha River. Home to Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences, State Museum, Capitol Complex.

Current Offerings at Towngate

• Independent/foreign film cinema (art house programming)
• Live theatre productions (community and touring)
• Visual arts exhibitions
• Educational workshops and camps

Visitors seeking the former Sunrise Museum's planetarium and science exhibits should note those functions have relocated or evolved; the Oglebay Institute's Schrader Environmental Education Center (also at Oglebay Resort) now handles nature/science programming.
