Adaland, Greek Revival mansion in Berryburg, United States
Adaland features a two-story L-shaped brick structure set upon a cut fieldstone foundation, with a carriage house and nineteenth-century barn on the property.
Augustus Modisett, who served as Sheriff of Barbour County from 1866 to 1869, constructed this residence between 1868 and 1880 on a hilltop location.
The mansion maintains its status as a house museum, offering educational programs that demonstrate nineteenth-century living patterns in West Virginia.
The 17-acre estate functions as a venue for tours, wedding ceremonies, holiday celebrations, dinner theater performances, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Judge Ira Robinson acquired the property in 1920 and renamed it Adaland, combining the names of his wife Ada and their daughter as a tribute.
