Fort Randolph

Directions Contact the organization

Fort Randolph It stood to prevent attacks on the colonies from the west during the first three years of the American Revolution.

In 1776, under orders from General Edward Hand, Captain Matthew Arbuckle marched a Virginia force to the forks of the Great Kanawha and Ohio Rivers and constructed a military post. Named after Continental Congressman Peyton Randolph, Fort Randolph was the farthest most out-post of the colonies and also played an important part in the American Revolutionary War. It also played a significant role in preventing an Indian alliance with the British during the revolution, as well as being the site of Chief Cornstalk's death in 1777. http://www.facebook.com/ #!/pages/Fort-Randolph/132412190131189
