Built about 1828 in Beverly, West Virginia, with an addition in 1894, the Blackman–Bosworth Store was a long-serving small-town general store that remained in commercial use into the 1920s. Over time it was also known by several names, reflecting different owners and eras. More than a place of trade, the building briefly served as the county courthouse, a post office, and a semi-official meeting place, making it an important center of local public life. Purchased by the Randolph County Historical Society in 1973, it was preserved for community use, became the Randolph County Museum, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
