Here's the route we took through West Virginia as we followed the Kanawha Valley Campaign of 1861. Even those who are not interested in history will find many of these places well worth a visit just for the gorgeous scenery.


  • Rendezvous at Point Pleasant, WV

  • Park near Hooters to study the Battle of Barboursville

  • Scary Creek

  • Gauley Bridge

  • Chimney Corner

  • Cross Corners

  • Carnifex Ferry

  • Hawk's Nest State Park (spent night and lecture at Golf Course)

  • Kanawha Falls

  • Sewell Mountain
