The Barbour County Historical Museum was grateful to be a part of the Barackville Covered Bridge Festival yesterday. We were able to share the history of our own covered bridge here in Philippi, and the connections between the two. A special thanks to WV Abe Lincoln for coming along and bringing his remarkable model of the Philippi Covered Bridge. We were more than happy to be a part of spreading awareness of our local history.
