  1. 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.

  2. 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!
