Cockayne At Glen Dale

Cockayne At Glen Dale The house was lived in by the family until 2001.

Owned by the City of Glen Dale and operated by the Marshall County Historical Society, the Historic Cockayne Farmstead is a unique historic site in Marshall County, West Virginia. Built by Bennett Cockayne in 1850 and enlarged in the 1890's, the Cockayne farmhouse was once the focal point of a 300-acre, highly successful and internationally recognized Merino wool producing farm. Touring the house

you will experience the story of Sam Cockayne, the last member of the family, a World War II veteran who returns to the homefront to find everything he left changed forever - and decides to change nothing more. Sam's decision has resulted in this amazing gift to the people: a historic house like none other still full of its original furniture, documents, and household items, a time capsule that contrasts a tale of Victorian success and innovation with the story of a man that the modern world left behind.
