ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Belmont County Heritage Museum is opening its doors next week, resuming its mission to showcase the hidden gems and treasures of local history.
Starting on the opening day Tuesday, the museum hours will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Curator Cathryn Stanley was busy this week preparing the latest additions, furnishings from the United Presbyterian Church in Bellaire, which recently closed its doors.
“They had their last service in January. The congregation dates back to the 1800s, but their building was from 1910,” Stanley said.
The museum intends to make use of the church’s podium, and the Presbyterian Church was happy for the chance to keep its furniture together. She said much of the furniture dates from the 1950s and 1960s.

Lahore, Pakistan Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last year, the Sisters of Charity of St. Jeanne-Antide Thouret have abandoned the Lenten tradition of receiving charity trips to their home for the mentally disabled.
Looking after their 74 residents, ages 13-85, is the top priority for the six nuns serving at Dar ul-Karishma (House of Wonders), which was established on Feb. 28, 1997, in a narrow street of Youhanabad, a predominantly Christian district of Lahore, Pakistan. The facility has separate male and female sections, and is multifaith, including eight clients who are Muslim.
