A farm owned by WVU Potomac State College boasts a history that goes back nearly as far as the establishment of West Virginia itself.

The property is divided on two sides by State Route 46, meaning that motorists who take that route from Fort Ashby into Keyser and then even into Piedmont drive right through College grounds.

Dr. Megan J. Webb, a sixth-generation agriculturalist from Mineral County, was recently honored during National Women in Agriculture Day by West Virginia Senator and former Governor Jim Justice, recognizing the vital contributions of women in agriculture. Dr. Webb serves as the Director of Development at WVU Potomac State College.
Raised in nearby Burlington, Webb grew up in the heart of the Potomac Highlands, where she said that "farming, faith, and community are deeply intertwined. In this region, the land teaches lessons that go far beyond the field—instilling resilience, stewardship, and a deep appreciation for serving something greater than oneself."
