My wife added this to our list of places to check out and it was very cool. It is not just a shop they have some good historical displays as well.
The prices are reasonable for the locally made goods (no mad in china items that I noticed). There was glass, pottery, shirts, honey, syrup, bbq sauce, and much more all locally made. There was also a large selection of books about the area.
I would recommend stopping by for about 15-20 minutes.
The young lady working was nice and knew a ton about the area and we had a nice chat with her about how the town has been trying to reinvent itself.

This is a combination of a store focused on items related to Wheeling and WV and a mini-museum of Wheeling history. The museum portion is designed around the lives of several characters from Wheeling history. It is designed for you to pick one character when you enter and then follow his or her life at each exhibit but I chose to read about every character at each exhibit. The museum exhibits are scattered through the shop. The exhibits gave a good picture of life in early Wheeling, focusing on several types of manufacturing and also providing information about labor history. The shop sells a wide variety of items and features several books about West Virginia that are not widely available. This is a nice stop for an hour or two while in Wheeling. There is no admission cost. It is located on the second floor of the building, just go up the escalator you see when you enter the building.
Parking is at meters on the street and we easily found a nearby parking spot on a weekday.

The Artisan Center is in a lovely old building. Just the old building is quite a sight. The artifacts are lovely and there were so many things I would have liked to take home. Around the floor are exhibits of how things used to be. Very informative and well worth taking in.

This is a very unusual layout. When you walk into the market you’re essentially in a foyer, that leads to a restaurant and a bar and then you have to walk upstairs to get to the artisan market. The market has some historical artifacts but then there are a bunch of eclectic items from glass vases and lamps to coal figures and T-shirts and stickers and hot sauce. That’s pretty much it

Visited recently with my wife to do some Christmas shopping. It's very similar to the shopping offered at Tamarack in Beckley, WV but with a Wheeling spin. Lots of Wheeling-centric books, crafts, and art, but with other goodies from all over the state. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

First off my gps could not find this place for some reason and then trying to find parking was challenging. The actual building has very little of it's historical things left in it, but still neat to think of it being around so long. The selection of locally made products was impressive and I was able to find some nice gifts and a candle for myself. If you care to learn more about Wheeling there are historical figures you can pick from and then learn about as you walk through the 2nd floor where the shopping is. There are some fun signs about Wheeling on the first floor in the restaurant but I strongly suggest NOT eating there. Service was so-so even though we were at the bar getting take out! I discovered upon returning to the hotel that I never got my side and my sandwich was so awful I couldn't eat it! My friend's food was mediocre. If you are desperate for something to eat and have no other options, stick with the appetizers there.

A really nice range of interesting artefacts by local West Virginians. Things were pretty well priced.

One reviewer commented on all the stairs to the 2nd floor arts. There is an elevator. We've purchased face jugs here as well as several books on WV history. This is a good place for both, as well as, for art from WV artists. History is among the arts in the center. We've found it to be a good place to visit when in town for Nailers' hockey just down the street at Wes Banco Arena. There is an upscale restaurant on the first floor that often has entertainment.

The only complaint I would offer for this center is that it is located on the second/upper level. We did not have trouble walking the steps, but maybe others would. There must be an elevator in that building that we did not see. The collection of local artist's works was complete and well arranged. The light was also adequate. Service was friendly. ---worth a 10 minute exit from the interstate if you want to view a good amount of local artisan works!
