Brandonville, WV

Located in northern Preston County just minutes off Interstate 68, Brandonville is a quiet country community surrounded by rolling farmland and wooded hills. The town dates back to the 1820s, when it served as a stop along early stagecoach routes, and it still holds onto that slow-paced rural charm. Living here puts you right on Route 26, making it an easy trip south to Bruceton Mills or a simple half-hour commute into Morgantown for work, healthcare, and dining.

Historic stone architecture gives the area plenty of character, from early 19th-century sandstone houses to the nearby Old Hemlock estate, known for its preserved woodland trails. While daily life here is all about open space and peace and quiet, outdoor recreation at Cheat Lake and Coopers Rock is only a short drive away. It is an appealing spot for anyone looking for rural living with easy highway access.
