Yesterday, July 1, 2018, the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center sustained heavy damage from a fire that began in the attic. Everyone got out okay, but it was a big loss for the Point Pleasant, W.Va., community and to river enthusiasts.
After the fire was extinguished, firefighters and others removed many of the museum's priceless exhibits and books to a youth center for storage. Here a firefighter carries a model of the steamboat Delta Queen to a waiting truck.
There are many photos to download and process, so more will come later.
