We love history around here, and in West Virginia, we definitely have more than our fair share of it. But certain sites stand out above the rest as especially worthy of time and attention for their place in history, and one of those is Henderson Hall.

Situated in West Virginia's Ohio Valley, Henderson Hall presides over two thousand years of history. With three ancient burial mounds on site as well as significant contributions to the Colonial, Revolutionary, and Civil War eras, Henderson Hall is a historian's paradise.
