About Barrackville

Tucked along Buffalo Creek just minutes from Fairmont, Barrackville offers a quiet, neighborly atmosphere with deep Marion County roots. It is the kind of small town where life moves at a relaxed pace, surrounded by rolling West Virginia hills. The community's standout landmark is the historic Barrackville Covered Bridge, an 1853 treasure that famously survived the Civil War and still anchors the town today. It is a peaceful spot to settle down while staying close to city conveniences.
