Restoring our History
Sites Restored or Being Re-purposed
in Hampshire County
American Legion - Kerns House (2025)
The American Legion has undertaken a renovation of the small shop on the west side of the Kerns house; in recent memory it was once a music shop and site of informal music jams. They hope to rent it as office space and get some income to help finance further restoration of the main house. It is the kind of preservation project which should arouse the support of residents of the oldest town in West Virginia. We wish them the best of luck. If you have any photos or earlier restoration work that you would like to share, please send them to us.
