ABOUT
West Virginia Independence Hall
The West Virginia Independence Hall is part of the Civil War Discovery Trail. Constructed in 1860 under architect Ammi B. Young, it was originally built as a custom house for the Western District of Virginia. Its completion provided a facility for heated political discussions and constitutional conventions that led to eventual statehood for West Virginia in 1863. Issues dividing many Virginians, slavery being one of many, were debated, compromised and shaped into the skeleton of statehood.
