Approved For Releage 2000/08/ CPYRGHT Approved For Releas > Unusual and appealing in its des ign, the Hamilton Round Barn lies about 1 mile from Mannington, West Virginia. A Museum That Cuts No Corners Gracefully round, painted white, and topped with a neat, eight-sided cupola, it looks more like a place of worship than the building it was meant to be. But the Ham- ilton Round Barn in northern West Vir- ginia served its purpose well for many years, and now it serves as a monument to its history and unusual design. Once far more common, round barns have all but disappeared from our land- scape. It is said that George Washington himself built the first one seen in America, raising it on his Mount Vernon estate. Folklore also tells us that some peopic favored circular barns because there were no corners where evil spirits could hide. A sure fact, though, is that round barns were particularly efficient for their time and their use. They had spacious upper Inside, livestock were fed and watered at this circular trough on the barn’s lower level. lofts, which were used for storage and were connected by chutes to the livestock’s feeding areas below. The West Virginia barn, 60 feet in diam- eter, was built near Mannington in 1912 by Amos Hamilton, who owned what’s been called the largest dairy farm in these parts. He designed it along the lines of a barn he’d seen in Pennsylvania. Hamilton built on two levels, with the loft in the center of the second level and a cupola above to aid in ventilation and help dry the hay. Today, the Hamilton barn on Flaggy Meadow Road is clean and empty. Par- tially restored, it is owned by the West Augusta Historical Society, which also runs a small museum in Mannington. Resi- dents from the area have donated items for both. Yokes and a few other farm tools, such as pumps, hang along the wall and stand together in the center. Mining equipment, an old bucksaw, saddles, a carriage built in the late 1800’s, and other memorabilia. occupy the upper level. And at the very top, the cupola’s windows reflect the mountains rising abruptly around the little valley below. The Hamilton Round Barn is about 1 mile from Mannington. It’s open every Sunday from 1:30 to 4 p.m. during April through October, or by appointment for five or more. Admission is charged.
