The heritage of early West Virginia is
preserved in the pioneer homestead restoration at this park. Through the
wisdom of a descendent, the late 1700s farm of Watters Smith was
bequeathed to the state park system to be preserved for posterity. A log
cabin similar to the original was moved and reconstructed on the park, the
Smith family home (c. 1876) has been restored as a museum, and an
additional museum houses many early farm artifacts. Guided tours are
offered from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. In addition, the park
features swimming, picnicking, hiking trails, and horseback riding.
