Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park

On November 6, 1863, the largest Civil War engagement of West Virginia's history occurred on this high, mountain plateau overlooking the beautiful and vast Greenbrier Valley. Standing among the tall trees, it is not difficult to imagine the fierce battle that took place here over a century ago. Part of the battlefield is restored and marked for visitors, and a small museum contains Civil War artifacts. Recreational opportunities include hiking trails to scenic overlooks, an observation tower, picnicking and a playground. A battle reenactment is featured every other year.
