Camp Bartow Historic District
Camp Bartow Historic District, Civil War fortification in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, United States.
The Camp Bartow Historic District spans 182 acres and contains ten buildings and nine sites centered around the Traveller's Repose inn.
During the Battle of Greenbrier River in October 1861, Confederate forces established defensive positions near the inn, leading to military engagements.
The Traveller's Repose served as the first stagecoach stop west of Allegheny Mountain and operated as Pocahontas County's initial post office from 1847.
The district remains accessible via the intersection of U.S. Route 28 and U.S. Route 250, featuring multiple preserved structures and a historic cemetery.
Writers Ambrose Bierce and Joseph Hergesheimer incorporated their experiences at Traveller's Repose into their literary works during different time periods.
