Some Great Historic Structures

Posted on by boardk

Adjacent the 4-H camp/conference center, there is also a small grouping of historic structures and mills.  The log cabins are good examples of local vernacular architecture.  The mill site and homestead was the birthplace of Stonewall Jackson.  (Reminder, West Virginia was part of the Commonwealth of Virginia until folks disagreed over slavery. West Virginia was created as a new free state.) One mill operates using a turbine and grinds grain for sale or barter.
