Fort Warwick thanks all those who visited with us during WV Maple Days on March 15, 2025. The whole family enjoyed meeting with you and sharing our traditional maple process. Dr. Kim McBride was on site and gave tours throughout the day. Thank you, Kim. We hope many of you will return to help us with archaeology on May 17,2025 as we continue to reveal the history of the Fort Warwick Historic Landmark.
Bob Sheets possesses a wealth of knowledge about the period during which the fort was operating and he shared just a fraction of it when we visited this week. It was an early stop during a motorcycle ride to explore Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The site contains a large number of artifacts unearthed during various archaeological digs involving students from elementary school through graduate school. My time with Bob was fascinating and I highly recommend a visit to anyone who is interested in learning about the fort or related topics.
Really enjoyed spending time with a fellow rider and history fan.

We did the tour of Fort Warwick Sunday, August 4th. Mr Sheets gave a fantastic historical presentation of the surrounding culture of Pocohontas county and the Allegheny Valley. His discussion of excavation for the site was chock full of details about the European/colonial settlers, as well as ample details about the surrounding Native American tribes that occupied the rugged mountain terrain. He answered questions with patience and purpose, traits that I am sure he learned in his decades as an English teacher. The Greenbank Observatory was a real highlight for our weekend to the area, but Fort Warwick was a “must see” if visiting Cass/GreenBank/Snowshoe!
