Alexander Campbell Mansion

The Alexander Campbell Mansion is a Federal style house on West Virginia Route 67 just east of Bethany, West Virginia, built in 1793 by John Brown and repeatedly enlarged, including a second story added to an enclosed porch in 1819 and a further expansion between 1836 and 1840. It became the home of Restoration Movement leader Alexander Campbell after his 1811 marriage to Margaret Brown, whose father John Brown had built the house; Campbell, who founded Bethany College in 1840 and served as its president, lived there until his death in 1866. The mansion is now a house museum operated by Bethany College, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970.
