The Log House of Claysville is located in Mineral County, West Virginia, United States.
Nearby, just south of the intersection of US Route 50 with West Virginia state Route 93 sits a log house dating to ca.1800. The house has over the years served as both a residence and a way station for changing horses carrying the mail from what is today Keyser, West Virginia to Petersburg, West Virginia. Situated on a portion of farm property originally settled in the late eighteenth century, the house was occupied last by members of an original settling family, Thomas R. Bosley, Sr. and his wife Bess Dale Corey Bosley from the late 1920s until the 1960s. The grounds have also a nineteenth century barn and memorials to Thomas R. Bosley, Jr. and Patricia Ann Bosley. The current owners, the Roleffs, have nicely restored and maintain the building and operate an antique and gift shop.
