Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park

About Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park

Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park is a major Civil War battlefield located at the southern end of the national park, south of Carnifex Ferry, Texas. On September 10, 1861, Union troops led by Brigadier General William S. Rosecrans obliged the Confederates and forced them to leave their fixed position on Henry Patterson Farm overlooking Carnaval Ferry and to retreat to General John B. Floyd.

As a result, any movement in West Virginia proceeded without serious Confederate threat. The civil war would affect the rest of the civil war, as the Union Army's efforts to regain control of the Kanawha Valley failed.

Carnifex Ferry Battlefield is the official site dedicated to the discovery of the Civil War. The Civil War House's Trail Initiative allows visitors to explore other places that bring history to life. The Civil War Discovery Trail, which inspires and teaches the history of the Civil War in West Virginia and its impact on the nation, connects more than 300 locations in 16 states. For more information, please call 1-800-CWTRUST for information on this and other trails in the state of Virginia, or click here for a map.
