 Alderson-Broaddus
College - Philippi
From Adaland, return to US 119/250 south and travel 3 miles to the
A-B College Campus. The view from the front of New Main allows the
visitor to see the site of the battle of Philippi. The first cannon
shots on June 3, 1861 were from this hill and troops were led down
the steep terrain to the Covered Bridge by Colonel Landers of the
Union forces. This hill was part of the Talbott farm at the time of
the battle. Visitors are welcome to tour the campus and New Main.
