Historic Phillipi Covered Bridge

Beside the Tygart Valley River, the Almost Heaven swing near the Philippi Covered Bridge blends charm with history. The bridge, built in 1852, is both the oldest and longest covered bridge in West Virginia and even saw use during the Civil War. Today, it’s the perfect backdrop for a photo while you sway by the water. Afterward, wander to local landmarks like Adaland Mansion or the Barbour County Historical Museum for more local history.
