ADALAND MANSION
 This mansion house was built in 1870 at the end of the Civil War by Augustus Modisett, Sheriff of Barbour County and banker. The brick house was constructed by local carpenters and emancipated slaves and is an example of neo greek architecture. The interior has been restored using 1870-1890 period wallpapers and furniture from local sources which compliment the original walnut woodwork. Guided historic tours are provided.
