Step into a living piece of history with the iconic Historic McCoy House in the heart of Franklin, Pendleton County. Built in 1848 for prominent local leader William McCoy, this stately L-shaped Greek Revival home has stood as a cornerstone of the community for over 175 years. William McCoy served as deputy sheriff, justice of the peace, and as a representative of Pendleton County in the state legislature, leaving behind a legacy woven into the very walls of this remarkable property. Rich in Civil War history, the McCoy House served as a military headquarters and housed a vital telegraph line connecting Franklin to Moorefield — a primary source of communication for troops during the war. Through triumph and tragedy, this home has endured — even surviving the devastating 1924 fire that destroyed much of downtown Franklin. In the aftermath, the McCoy House remained standing and became a place of stability and commerce as the town rebuilt. Throughout its storied past, the property has served many roles in the community, including housing the Pendleton County Town Offices and the Pendleton County Library. For generations, it has been a place filled with memories for the people of Franklin and beyond. Today, the Historic McCoy House operates as a charming Bed & Breakfast, offering beautifully appointed staterooms and suites, comfortable amenities, warm meals, and special package options for guests seeking both relaxation and history. The carriage house on the property has an additional bedroom and bathroom. This property is also coming FULLY FURNISHED-making it truly "turn-key" and with new solar panels in placed, it's even energy saving!
