Published by The Journal, the article highlights the Adam Stephen House in Martinsburg, a historic mansion built in 1774 by the town's founder. Originally a stately manor constructed from local limestone, it has been repurposed as a historic house museum. Adam Stephen was not just a landowner but also a prominent military figure during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. The house, restored in the 1960s after being donated to the city, features a basement cave believed to have served as a shelter. Additionally, the property includes the adjacent Triple Brick House, which has its own historical significance. The Adam Stephen House is open for tours seasonally and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970.
