The Philippi B & O Railroad Station is located in Philippi near the intersection of US 250 (Main Street) with the B & O railroad tracks.
Built in 1911, the Philippi station is the largest and most substantial depot in Barbour County. The depot is one and one-half stories high, measuring 81 feet in length by 26 feet in width.
In 1979 the City of Philippi purchased the railroad station from the B & O and restoration work began in 1981 largely through the efforts of the Barbour County Historic Society.
The depot is also known as the Barbour County Historical Society Museum.
