I didn't get to go inside but it was so interesting to know that my 4th great Aunt Jane Rapp Beckley was the 2nd wife of General Alfred Beckley who's father John Beckley was the first Librarian of Congress, a close friend to Thomas Jefferson and signed the Bill of Rights. You wonder what their lives were like and the struggles they had. I hope one day I get to explore the home my family once lived in.
The Wildwood House is one of the most historic sites in Beckley, WV. The Historical Society has an annual Open House with reenactment ent and house tours with refreshments. Great historical information. A can't miss event.
Neat place! Nice to learn some history about Beckley! The historical society could not have been nicer on founders day. Thanks!
