History of Martins Station<\/strong>
According to Capt. John Redd in 1775, “Martin’s Fort was on Martin’s Creek. The fort was located on the north side of the creek. There were some five or six cabins; these built some 20 feet apart with strong stockades between. In these stockades there were port holes. The station contained about half an acre of ground. There were two fine springs near the station on its north side.” At one point, Martins Station was the westernmost fort in the nation. The park literature explains, “Established in the spring of 1775 by Captain Joseph Martin of Albermarle County, Virginia, Martin’s Station played a key role in the settlement of the American West.” The park literature further explains, “Historic Martin’s Station lives on today in the nation’s most authentically re-created frontier fort. The hand-hewn structures were painstakingly built by historical interpreters using native materials and historically accurate tools. Nestled at the base of the majestic Cumberland Mountains in the far southwest corner of Virginia, Wilderness Road State Park offers visitors a unique natural and historic experience that will create wonderful memories for years to come.”<\/p>\n
