Taggart Hall is a late 18th-century residence that houses the Fort Mill Ridge Foundation and its Fort Mill Ridge Civil War Trenches museum. It is at 91 South High Street, Romney, West Virginia. Next to Taggart Hall on Gravel Lane is Romney's oldest structure, the Wilson-Wodrow-Mytinger House (c. 1760).
Frances Taggart (Tygart), a Quaker, constructed Taggart Hall in the 1790s on a lot at the corner of High Street and Gravel Lane laid out in the original 1762 Romney survey conducted on behalf of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Taggart Hall was initially built as a clapboard "half-house". The original eighteenth-century structure was expanded to accommodate the Fort Mill Ridge Foundation.
