I was born at the hospital in Philippi in Feb of 1943, and graduated from Philippi High in May of 1961, not many family members left there, the young people would leave, and go to Ohio, plenty of jobs to be had in Akron , Youngstown area now I only go back a couple of years not very many relatives left, I loved your video, brings so many memories

So many beautiful homws along this road.

I enjoyed your video. I lived there a long time ago and moved back to Ohio,it still looks the same. Brenda Talkington

I am a west Virginia native I have never been philipi,w.va very nice area.

What a beautiful area to have grown up in. I have been looking to relocate to WV. Seems to be a peaceful place with decent people. Thank you for the video here and look forward to someday getting down there to see WV for myself.

I really enjoyed this. Hope you can drive down more roads like this.

Thanks for watching! I have several more small town videos:

Well done. Would be enjoyable even without my 9 years of precious memories when I lived there.

Thanks so much!

I was born in Clarksburg grew up there,lived in Elkins West Virginia for 13 years,lived in Buckhannon for 8 months,now living in Zephyrhills Florida,if I ever move back to West Virginia,I think Philippi would be my next choice.

I lived outside of Philippi on little hacker creek

What a beautiful area. My relatives came from Bridgeport, WV. We now live in Stark County OH and I have seen dozens and dozens of Mayles migrate here from Phillipi, WV. Is there a story her or just coincidence? Thx!

I was born Broaddus Hospital 1956 grew up between Tacy and Nestorville i miss home 😢😢❤

Grew up on buckanon rd. Went to Volga elementary 😊class of 95

Was born in Myers Clinic 1954. We lived about 5 miles north on rt 250 at Mr. Phillips farm our neighbors were the McBees and Duckworths.

Remember the bridge before the fire

US Route 250 in West Virginia is a North - South highway, while in Ohio it is an East - West highway.IDK

Home sweet home

What was in the sky starting at 10:06? If I recall correctly there was a radio station in that building so maybe an antenna or something. Break in the clouds maybe. I went to AB from 99-2000, thanks for the dose of nostalgia.

That is the camera picking up the sun. I was driving into it when filming that part of video.

I've never seen another divided-lane covered bridge.

Me and Hank are the same age. Henry's dad Jim and my dad Marvin are brothers. Uncle Jim lived on Union by the tressel. I'm from Ohio but went to Phillipi every summer. If you swam in the Tygart and know where the Indian head carved in the rock is at... My uncle Rob carved that.
