George Washington referred to it as a pleasant point while he surveyed the land as a young man. He would later consider the town as the capital of the 14th American colony, Vandalia. While this colony never developed, it was nevertheless an important part of the American Revolution, as the first battle occurred at Point Pleasant on October 10, 1774, between Col. Andrew Lewis s Virginia militia and Chief Cornstalk s army of Shawnee warriors. The Virginians prevailed, allowing for colonial expansion west of the Ohio River.

Point Pleasant has always been a subtle crossroads of American history, with many triumphs and tragedies.…
