Fort Boreman is a Civil War archaeological site near Parkersburg, West Virginia, where the earthworks of a hilltop fort built in 1863 still survive. Constructed by Company A of the 11th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, it was meant to protect the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad link between Wheeling and Parkersburg from Confederate disruption or capture. Rather than a standing fort, the site preserves paired trenches about four feet deep that encircle the hilltop in a zigzag pattern. Named for Arthur I. Boreman, West Virginia’s first governor, it connects the state’s early history with its wartime defenses and remains significant as both a military and archaeological site.
