Memorial Gymnasium/Martin Field House

An important practice area for D&E's athletic program, Memorial Gymnasium/Martin Field House contains Seybolt Indoor Golf Academy, strength training equipment, as well as year-round practice space for soccer, baseball and softball. The only facility of its kind in the region, Seybolt Indoor Golf Academy features full swing and short game practice areas, plus a golf simulator and clubhouse. The building was originally dedicated as Memorial Gymnasium in 1950 and was re-dedicated in honor of the Martin family in 2010.

Seybolt Indoor Golf Academy

Named in honor of D&E alumnus Dick Seybolt, this indoor golf academy was designed and installed by one of the nation’s top indoor golf turf companies – Turf Solutions.

Seybolt Indoor Golf Academy The Academy includes seven different grass heights, a sand trap and ‘tough putts,’ all designed to develop good playing habits. Built on a contoured base of gravel, limestone dust and sand to help players master their ‘short’ game, there is an adjacent chipping and driving area as well. A computer-controlled golf simulator provides the challenge of playing on six of the world’s renowned championship courses.

An avid golfer, Seybolt was intrigued with the idea of creating an indoor golf academy in a region subject to severe winters. Inspired by former D&E Head Golf Coach Wally Edgell and the student athletes, he offered to provide funds necessary to make their dream a reality. The indoor, year-round ‘golf course’ - unlike anything else in West Virginia – is located on the mezzanine of the restored Martin Field House.

Graceland Inn(Circa 1892)

The mansion was the summer home of Henry Gassaway Davis, a United States Senator (1871-1883), and an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Vice President of the United States.

Graceland, built by Henry Gassaway Davis and his wife, was completed in 1893. Graceland was designed by the renowned architectural firm of Baldwin and Pennington of Baltimore, MD. The farm on which the Inn was built originally consisted of approximately 360 acres. The exterior of the building is constructed of native sandstone in the Queen Anne style of architecture. The interior is decorated in native hardwoods, notably quartered oak, bird’s eye maple, cherry and walnut.

The house was first named the Mingo Moor and then Mingo Hall, the name being derived from Mingo Flats, an area south of Elkins. In the end though, Davis named the house in honor of his youngest daughter, Grace. She was thought to be Davis’s favorite daughter and had considerable influence regarding the decoration of the house. The original name was remembered by the restaurant, the Mingo Room, that was in Graceland.

Augusta Dance Pavilion

The Augusta Dance Pavilion was originally created to serve as the perfect place to have outdoor dances during the Augusta Heritage Center’s annual summer weeklong workshops. This popular celebration of heritage music and crafts attracts several hundred participants annually, including public dances in the Pavilion that are enjoyed by the entire community. The Augusta Dance Pavilion has become a great open air space for student dances and activities, even concerts. With its wood floor, band stand and bare bulb lights, it is reminiscent of having old–time square dances in an open air dance hall. The beauty of its woodland setting makes it magical place to experience music and dance all night.

Davis & Elkins College Allen Athletic Fields

Although the archway reads: “Davis & Elkins College Allen Athletic Fields,” its meaning is much deeper to the College and the Allens, the principal benefactors. The new baseball, soccer and softball fields represent an investment of more than $400,000 in private gifts from individuals, foundations and the J.F. Allen Company.
