WV State Wildlife Center
French Creek, WV
From collectors
This is a beautiful location about 12 miles south of Buckhannon, WV. A wheelchair accessible walking trail takes you though a forested area to view and learn about the wildlife in the area. There is a small fee for entry - if you have time, I suggest you walk the trail. You can enter the gift shop without the fee (park in the front or just across the street).
The machine is located in the gift shop/snack bar, next to the bear - you can't miss it! Four images are:
1) Bear,
2) Owl,
3) Deer,
40 The logo.
Free Rolled penny:
1) A wolves head, pawn print, and "WV Wildlife Center" on it.
Pennybook:
1) West Virginia State Wildlife Center book (by Penny Collector) for $7.99 that has a pressed penny (deer design with location's name) in the cover.
Cindy's Cents penny machine placed in June 2015.
8/10/2025: Machine still located in the gift shop to the left of the bear (you can still get in the outside front door to the gift shop without entering the park by car, but only $4 entrance fee per person if you want to see the animals around the walking trail). Pressing good on new pennies and cost $0.51 per design.
They also sell a West Virginia State Wildlife Center book (by Penny Collector) for $7.99 that has a pressed penny (deer design with location's name) in the cover. Also, if you buy the book, they will give you a "5th" penny already pressed with a wolves head, pawn print, and "WV Wildlife Center" on it. {bjj}
7/16/26. Machine rolling perfectly. They no longer have penny books ordered, because of the “penny shortage”. NEF
