Review:
Belle Boyd House preserves the historic childhood home of famed American Civil War spy Belle Boyd, who infamously supplied information to Stonewall Jackson about enemy activities during the course of the war. Boyd spent part of her childhood in the 1853 home, which was developed into a rental apartment building in the mid-20th century. In 1992, it was saved from demolition by the Martinsburg City Council and restored to its historic glory by the Berkeley County Historical Society. Today, it operates as the Berkeley County Museum, restored to the Victorian style it would have been decorated in in the late 19th century. Visitors can tour the historic home as part of guided or self-guided tours of the home, which showcases recreated rooms and exhibits on Berkeley County history.
