In the late 1800’s Wheeling was once just an overnight stop for travelers moving from Chicago and heading to the Wisconsin territory. These travelers would commute using the Overland Trail which is now known as Milwaukee Avenue. Today, the bustling, city-like suburb is home to almost 39,000 residents. Loads of information can be learned and digested from a visit to Wheeling’s Historical Society. Located in the Wheeling Park District’s Chamber, the Society has kept the history of the community alive. In past years, Wheeling was known for its landscaping nurseries, as farmers took advantage of the rich soil and the transportation trails, eventually growing the city into the community it is today. As manufacturers moved in, residential neighborhoods, commercial development, and taverns also took root. Many of Wheeling’s original taverns, dating back to the 1800’s still stand today. This string of taverns, inns, and eateries make up Wheeling’s notorious Restaurant Row, a frequented spot of food lovers. Home to high-profile restaurants as well as mom and pop shops, Wheeling provides a unique variety of cuisine.

In addition to the abundant restaurants on and around Restaurant Row, locals and visitors can enjoy beautifully maintained golf courses, aquatic centers, and Lynfred Winery.
