Blue and Gray Reunion was held: May 30 – JUNE 2, 2019
On May 28, 1861, Col. George Porterfield and his Confederate troops arrived in Philippi, where they camped or were quartered in town. Neighbors and families were already divided on the question of secession. There were at least 750, if not upwards of 2,000 troops. At daylight on June 3, two columns of Union forces, with perhaps 3,000 men, arrived from Grafton under the command of Col. Ebenezer Dumont and Col. Benjamin Kelley.
Mistaking a pistol shot by a Mrs. Humpreys on the hill above the town as a signal to start the battle, the Union troops fired on the Confederates with two brass six-pound Napoleon cannons. The Confederates routed to a big rock south of town and departed in good order to Belington and ultimately to Beverly.

The historic Embassy Theatre opened its doors to the public on November 18, 1931. It was the height of the Great Depression. Although many had less than good fortune, people needed those fantasy realms the movies could provide, giving the Jacob Kauffman family an incentive to build the Embassy Theatre on Cumberland’s Baltimore Street.
Once inside, the Embassy in all its glory could be witnessed in the ceiling’s stenciled jungle motifs and wall borders. The lights went down as music was played on the Wurlitzer pipe organ, then cartoons, previews, a newsreel, a serial and the main feature were shown. A jackpot prize of a new set of dishes was offered the third Saturday of every month, and every so often special live guests like Rin Tin Tin or cowboy star Ken Maynard and his horse were featured on the Embassy fore-stage.
In the early Fifties, the cinema’s popularity dwindled due to the advent of television. In 1959, the Embassy closed its doors, and the premises were altered to create an annex for the adjacent Cumberland Cloak and Suit Store. A.C. Warhaft bought the Embassy in 1981 to house his custom drapery shop, which remained until his death in 1992. A nonprofit corporation was formed in December 1997 to revivify the theatre as a multi-purpose arts facility. The retail ceiling was removed to expose the gloriously colorful stenciled proscenium and ceiling to the orchestra floor. A stage was built, the original exterior doors were rehung, and a box office was rebuilt to match the original.
In addition to work to bring back the building to its original form, a handicapped accessible bathroom was added to the first floor, and a fire sprinkler system installed. Wonderful faux finishes painted by local artist John Alderton adorn the lobby of the second floor. Funded entirely by public donations, an electric retractable movie screen was permanently installed. In the past twenty years, the Embassy has presented many scores of plays, comedies, original theatrical work, music, dance and film. Meanwhile, we continue to raise funds for future renovations, while continuing to provide our venue for the performing arts.

The Tygart Flyer Scenic Train is a great way to appreciate splendid scenery by rail, all while following the path of two marvellous rivers that flow through Barbour County. The round trip journey takes approximately four hours, and the final destination is the High Falls of Cheat: a 150-foot-wide, 18 feet high waterfall. Because the landmark is situated in a remote part of the region, a trip on the Tygart Flyer Scenic Train offers Barbour County visitors chances to get a taste of some of the natural beauty that has attracted people to the area for generations. An S-curve tunnel and a canyon that descends 1,500 feet deep are just a couple of many other sights to enjoy.
The train fare includes an “all-you-can-eat” sandwich buffet, a cookie for dessert, and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages. For a reasonable additional fee, guests can also ride in the vintage 1922-era Pullman parlour car located in the rear of the train. It offers especially spectacular views from the comfort of supportive armchairs. Because the train’s route spans 46 miles, it’s an excellent opportunity to see some of the picturesque scenery that surrounds Barbour County with all the luxuries of a relaxing train ride.

The mission of the foundation is to preserve land(s) on which the battle was fought. Nearly 7,000 Union cavalry and light artillery attached Gen. Robert E. Lee’s rear guard of almost 3,000 infantrymen near Williamsport, MD, on the morning and early afternoon of July 14, 1863. Much of the battle was fought approximately two miles from the Falling Waters crossing over the Potomac River. Only 11 days after “Picket’s Charge” in Gettysburg, it is considered the final battle of the Gettysburg Campaign. It is sometimes confused with the unrelated Battle of Falling Waters (Hoke’s Run) in West Virginia two years earlier.
