摘要：	Nearly three years after an electrical fire destroyed the Point Pleasant River Museum in Point Pleasant, W.Va., construction is underway on a new museum that includes a state-of-the-art center for simulator training. The new Point Pleasant River Museum and Lakin Ray Cook Learning Center are expected to open this fall, executive director James McCormick said. It is one of 22 river museums in the nation, one of only six with towboat simulators for industry training and education and one of only three with such simulators east of the Mississippi River. Local officials held a groundbreaking ceremony February 22 on a new site at 320 Main St., three blocks away from the museum's former home and with convenient access to parking and the riverfront, from which visitors often arrive via river-boat cruises. It is also now within close proximity to shops and restaurants. "You can walk from the riverfront now and walk right up Main Street," McCormick said.
