Confederate Breastworks Interpretive Site — Local services in Virginia

The site is authentic, Bathrooms are not clean We were driving through this area and saw this location on the way. It is along WV 250 (aka Shenandoah mountain road or the Highland Turnpike).

If I ever have the guts to go back I'll take pictures, but I had to beat feet before I puked in the...

We often stop here for the chance to walk a little and catch some amazing views at the same time. The trail has interpretive signs along the walk which tell the story of the what Confederate soldiers had to endure in what was known as Fort Edward Johnson.
