Military
Six miles west, a Confederate regiment from Georgia camped at Blue Sulphur Springs in improvised shelters during the winter of 1863. Many died of exposure and disease and are buried on the hill 400 yards north of the spring. General Andrew Lewis cleared this trace while marching from Camp Union to Point Pleasant in 1774. The Campaign Bridge across Muddy Creek and the Fleshman Farm, where General Lee's horse "Traveller" was raised, are nearby points of interest.
