'''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 (architecture)|clapboard]] "half-house". The original eighteenth-century structure was expanded to accommodate the Fort Mill Ridge Foundation.
