Martinsburg Civil War Echoes and West Virginia Heritage
Surrounding Market House Martinsburg retains Civil War scars and legends. Belle Boyd’s jail night, blockade actions, and Jackson Sheridan headquarters are recalled alongside railyard coups. The city’s industry includes Interwoven Mills, Dunn Woolen Co., and limestone trade, with Jefferson and Berkeley counties rich in apples and wheat. The Leetown Fish Hatchery studies fish diseases while Washington Elm endures at Berkeley Springs.
