West Virginia: Lockwood House

 

The Lockwood House, built in 1848, served numerous purposes during the Civil War, including as a makeshift hospital for Union soldiers after the Battle of Harper’s Ferry, but most notably, it became a school for former slaves. In addition, some of the walls contain unique graffiti from the Civil War era, which conservationists are seeking to preserve.
