The heritage of early West Virginia is preserved in the pioneer homestead restoration at this park. Through the wisdom of a descendent, the late 1700s farm of Watters Smith was bequeathed to the state park system to be preserved for posterity. A log cabin similar to the original was moved and reconstructed on the park, the Smith family home (c. 1876) has been restored as a museum, and an additional museum houses many early farm artifacts. Guided tours are offered from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. In addition, the park features picnicking and hiking trails.

Arts & Culture

Perched on a small rise overlooking the confluence of Prickett's Creek and the Monongahela River, this rustic log fort is a re-creation of the original Prickett's Fort of 1774, which served as a refuge from Native American war parties on the western frontier of Colonial Virginia. Built in 1976 by the Prickett's Fort Memorial Foundation, the "new" fort serves as a living history site where interpreters recreate late 18th century lifestyle through period attire and demonstrations of a variety of colonial crafts. Throughout the season, visitors may find blacksmiths, spinners, weavers and other traditional artisans at work, and a gun shop which features the only public demonstrations of 18th century firearm manufacturing in the state. The fort covers a 100 by 100 foot square, with 12-foot-high log walls and blockhouses at each corner. Lining the weathered stockade walls are 16 tiny cabins, some with earthen floors. A meetinghouse and a storehouse fill the common. When the threat of Native American uprisings occurred, up to 80 families from the surrounding countryside would hurry to the fort. They would stay as long as the threat existed, from days to weeks. "Forting up" was simply tolerated by settlers, as life in the cramped quarters could be unpleasant. Such sacrifices were necessary for survival on the dangerous frontier of the late 1700s. Today's fort, just north of Fairmont, still portrays that life and time.

The High Gate house and carriage house were built ca. 1910-1913 by Fairmont industrialist and financier, James E. Watson, son of the "father of the West Virginia coal industry," James O. Watson. Designed by Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer, the stable and the adjacent mansion remain fine example of Tudor revival architecture with half-timbering, stucco wall cladding and clay-tiled-roofs—an academic style based upon late Medieval English prototypes that was common among suburban domestic architecture in the United States in the early-20th-Century. Although still uncommon prior to World War I, Tudor Revival became an immensely popular style during the 1920s and 1930s. High Gate is clearly a product of the early infusion of the Tudor style, as well as the opulence of the wealthy of the early 20th-Century.

At over 3,000ft in elevation, Mountain State Brewing Co. sits at the top of the watershed, allowing beer to be brewed with the purest water possible. Starting with just a 3-barrel brew system, the brewhouse quickly needed to expand to more than double that capacity to meet increasing demand. Since then they’ve established one of the largest microbrewery distribution footprints in the state of West Virginia.The restaurants specialize in artisan flatbreads using fresh, high-quality ingredients and baked in hand-built 12ft diameter wood-burning pizza ovens. http://mountainstatebrewing.com

Coal Fired Pizza - This style of cooking is the original way pizzas were cooked at Lombardi’s, the first registered American pizzeria in New York City. Cooking with coal produces a much more intense heat to give a great texture and finish to the pizza. Ours is one of only two coal fired ovens in West Virginia. The use of a coal fired pizzeria oven offers great flavor and honors the rich culture of our region in two ways. The North Central West Virginia area is well-known for it’s Italian heritage and West Virginia is synonymous with the coal industry. DelI: Our deli provides a wide range of Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, sold by the pound or made into sandwiches. These products, many of which are specialty items you won’t find elsewhere in the area, are of the highest quality and flavor. If that’s not enough to please your palette, we also offer a premium selection of olives and relishes. No meal is complete without something to wet your whistle, and what greater way than a few brews. Options abound for the beer connoisseur at Mia Market. See website: http://bit.ly/29qew1x
