April 28 Jones Imboden Raid Civil War Day
Saturday 10 am to 4 pm
In April 1863 Confederate forces invaded Fairmont, Virginia (now West Virginia) in
an attempt to gain control of the strategic B&O Railroad and capture Francis
Pierpont, Governor of the Re-Organized Virginia. The park will commemorate this
event through various re-enactments and demonstrations, and hands-on activities
for children and families. Regular park admission applies.
