In September 2025, Mills Group was selected by the Berkeley County Museum Commission (BCMC) to lead the rehabilitation of several historic buildings in downtown Martinsburg, beginning with a concept design for the future Eastern West Virginia History and Culture (EWVHC) Museum at 110 West King Street and the former Courthouse building at 100 West King Street.

In addition to architectural expertise, experienced staff, and creative vision, the Commission was committed to hiring a passionate historic buildings museum design firm collaborator. “The BCMC partnership with the Mills Group is exceeding our expectations in every regard” said Robert Mahaffey, Chairman, Berkeley County Museum Commission.

This museum will serve as a multi-purpose regional history ‘hub’ that preserves important artifacts and stories related to the area’s rich cultural heritage, connects visitors to numerous regional historic sites along the Washington Heritage Trail, and offers opportunities for community engagement, education, and economic growth.
