Built in 1859, this hand cut sandstone building was the Wheeling Custom House with a post office and federal court. From 1861–1863, it was the capitol of the “Restored Government of Virginia” and is now called the “Birthplace of West Virginia.”
West Virginia Independence Hall has many exciting exhibits including 14 original Civil War battle flags, the original post office, and the beautiful, restored court room.
