Stand at the actual point where the Kanawha meets the Ohio River, on the ground of the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, with a historian who makes the frontier era vivid.
What to expect
You'll walk the small state park at the tip of land where the rivers join, see the Mansion House museum and the monument obelisk, and hear firsthand the story of the region's founding conflict, timed to avoid midday tour-bus traffic.
Good to know
Located a short drive from the river landing in Point Pleasant, WV, just across the Ohio River from Gallipolis; best done first thing before it gets hot, and easy to combine with the Mothman stop nearby.
