Martinsburg West Virginia
Martinsburg is a city in and the county seat of Berkeley County, West Virginia. In its prime, Martinsburg had extensive rail transport and hosted many industries. In fact, the city of Martinsburg was actually considered to be a candidate for the West Virginia state capitol. While it did not become the West Virginia capitol, it was a major transportation hub.
I decided that since I found Charleston so fascinating, why not visit Martinsburg? The Baltimore and Ohio Shops in Martinsburg have enough leftover to show you its industrial muscle. Additionally, one of its two railroad roundhouses still stands. YES, the roundhouse is on the National Register of Historic Places!

Berkeley County Courthouse. I just love its design
