West Virginia Independence Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Virginia Independence Hall is located in Wheeling, West Virginia and housed the First and Second Wheeling Conventions (1861) as well as the West Virginia Constitutional Convention (1863).
The building was originally built as the custom house for the Western District of Virginia, but it later became a famous site in the unique history of West Virginia's statehood. It was also the center of government for the Restored Government of Virginia from 1861 to 1863.
