Discover An Oddly Rich History

Welcome to the landing page for the Historic Oddfellow Manor of Elkins WV. Here you will find information on the people and projects moving forward on the property. From farming and gardening, to food preservation and self sufficiency, we plan to educate our community on the common practices that have been lost to modernity.

Who
we are

The Historic Oddfellow Manor of Elkins, WV is more than a historic home — it’s a living classroom where history meets sustainability. We’re restoring a landmark, teaching self-sufficiency skills, and creating a space where the past and future come together.

Large historic brick building with multiple stories, a wrap-around porch, and a steep roof, set against a bright blue sky and green lawn in front.
