The historic old covered bridge at Philippi, completed in 1852, has been in continuous use for 109 years and still serves to carry the heavy traffic on U. S. Highway 250 across the Tygarts Valley River. Veteran of the Civil War, it was the first bridge captured, and was used throughout the war by troops of both armies.   It has had its own centennial celebration, and now will be a center of attraction in the observance of the centennial of the first land battle of the Civil War.
