West Virginia was formed as part of Virginia and so it is the only state that declared its independence from the Confederacy. This marker points out a battle that took place here.

It sure seemed peaceful as I passed through and perhaps I need to return. The marker reads, "A post office was established here in 1889 and the village was incorporated in 1945. Named for Dr. Cyrus A. Rupert (1812-1891), a prominent local physician. The first settler here was William McClung (1738-1833) who came in 1766. A soldier in the revolution, he donated two acres of land for the area's first church at Otter Creek. He is buried in the church cemetery." The marker is in excellent condition. It was erected in 1980 by the West Virginia Department of Culture and History. [Review 19607 overall - 81 in West Virginia - 578 of 2023.]

After crossing the Greenbrier River, I spotted this marker and stopped to see what it was about. It…read morepoints out the history of this small town and its mills. The marker reads, "From the French word meaning "Greenbrier". Thomas Edgar settled in Greenbrier County before 1780. His son built first grist mill on Greenbrier River. Three successive mills were destroyed but the fourth plant operates today." It was erected in 1980 by the West Virginia Department of History and Culture. Ronceverte's story begins with Jed Hotchkiss, a civil engineer from Virginia, who platted the town in 1871 on land once known as Edgar's Mill. The town quickly became a chief railroad junction and lumber center, with the St. Lawrence Boom and Manufacturing Company operating the largest softwood mill in the nation between 1882 and 1908. By the late 19th century, Ronceverte was thriving, with executives, educators, and medical professionals settling in its growing neighborhoods. The Greenbrier River made it one of the earliest significant river ports in the watershed, but it also brought devastating floods in 1985, 1996, and 2016, which left lasting marks on the community.

Yes, you read that right my friends. Don't forget, West Virginia was a part of Virginia until 1863. The North House has six rooms open to the public. My husband Rick and I took the free (although a donation is suggested) guided tour. Being a history teacher, Rick liked the Civil War Room the best. I preferred the Doris Caldwell room. Caldwell was a diorama artist whose pieces were very intricately detailed. Come check this place out if you're on a WV vacation.
