Welcome to Wheeling’s Historic Centre Market, an eclectic mix of shops and quality dining. Built in 1853, it is older than the state itself. The upper market house, the oldest in the country, was originally an open air market. From a hub of commerce to a hub of culture a century later, Centre Market is a great destination for food, shopping, events, festivals, art, and exploration in the Upper Ohio Valley. All of our businesses are local and owned by members of our community.

Be sure to check out Valley Cheese inside Centre Market! Make sure to let one of them know that Laurel and Dakota sent you!
