boyd_sThe Belle Boyd House was built in 1853 by Ben Boyd, father of the notorious Civil War spy Isabella (Belle) Boyd.

By eavesdropping on Union officers, Belle was able to gather information for the Confederacy. With the information she would gather, she crossed enemy lines at the peril of her own life to deliver messages to leaders like Stonewall Jackson. This happened a number of times throughout the war.

Her home now stands as an important resource for folks interested in the Civil War and the history of Martinsburg and Berkley County. The Belle Boyd House contains museum artifacts as well as genealogical and historical records.
