Mill Island, also known as the Seymour Family House, is a historic home located near Moorefield, Hardy County, West Virginia. The original brick cottage was built in 1798. In 1840, a two story, brick Greek Revival style mansion was appended. The 3 1/2 story building features a one bay, temple style entrance porch and a "widow's walk" on the roof peak. The porch columns are in the Corinthian order. The interior features a great ballroom, reception hall, parlors, and a huge dining room. During the American Civil War, it was used as a hospital by the McNeill's Rangers.
