Of possible interest to some, the following website provides information about the rebuilt Fort Randolph at Krodel Park, Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

It was a refuge for white settlers against Indian attacks, was the farthest most out-post of the colonies and also played an important part in the American Revolutionary War

I found some interesting information and decent photographs at the website. Enjoy.

The link doesn't seem to work. At least not for me.

Looks like a neat site. One to add to my "fort tour".

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. Here is another local fort in Steubenville, Ohio that helped open up the NW Territory.

I've been by Fort Randolph…I don;'t think it's on the original site of the fort (I believe that was actually at the Point where the Battle of Point Pleasant had been fought in 1774…but I could be incorrect), but I have visited Fort Steuben. If you are in the area it is worthy of a stop. Great selection of books there, and the fort is recreated fairly well. The First American Regiment stationed forces there, in the mid 1780s.

^^^About two years ago my dad gave $10,000 USD worth of equipment and accouterments to the fort for their displays. They got a trailer and came down to Dayton to pick everything up. They were very appreciative and got some really neat stuff for their display/collection. Well worth a stop if you are in the area.
