Camp Bartow Historic District

The Camp Bartow Historic District in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, is a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike. Centered around the historic inn 'Traveller's Repose,' built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1869, the district is notable for its connection to the Battle of Greenbrier River in 1861. Visitors can explore ten contributing buildings, including the inn, which served as a stagecoach stop and post office, and various outbuildings. The area also features significant Civil War fortifications and an unmarked cemetery for Confederate soldiers. The district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996, offers a glimpse into the region's rich history and its role in early American transportation and military events.
