Morgan Morgan Monument, Stone monument in Bunker Hill, West Virginia.
A granite memorial stands 12.5 feet tall in a roadside park, displaying the West Virginia state seal and commemorating the early settlement.
Morgan Morgan, who arrived from Wales in 1731, received a 1000-acre land grant and established the first permanent settlement in present-day West Virginia.
The monument represents the beginning of European settlement in West Virginia, marking the contributions of Morgan Morgan as justice and militia captain.
Located along Winchester Pike, the monument sits within a 1.05-acre park that provides space for visitors to explore the historical marker.
The park remained the single state park in Berkeley County from 1956 to 1970 before becoming part of the Mill Creek Historic District.
