Unusual and appealing in its design, the Hamilton Round Barn
lies about 1 milefrom Mannington, West Virginia.
A Museum
That Cuts No Comers
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 Bam 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
people
favored circular bams because there were
no comers where
evil
spirits could
hide.
A sure fact, though,
is that round bams
were
particularly
efficient
for
their time
and
their use. They had spacious upper

lofts, which were
used
for
storage
and
were connected by chutes to the livestock's
feeding areas below.
The West Virginia bam, 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 Bam
is about
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. To
