hi there,

With the exception of three Civil War Battlefields West Virginia maintains, the rest are all located on private property.

Civil War reenactments can be seen at the different battle sites at different times of the year. South of Philippi and southwest of Martinsburg, Beverly is another place popular for Civil War tours.

Used as headquarters for a portion of the war, Beverly is home to an excellent museum covering the events of the Civil War.

Huttonsville, just north of Snowshoe, also served as Confederate headquarters for short part of the war.

Other Civil War Battles took place at Cheat Summit Fort, Camp Elkwater and Camp Bartow, where the Battle of Greenbrier River took place.
