Prickett’s Fort (prickettsfort.org/) is a rustic log fort that is a re-creation of the original Prickett’s Fort of 1774, which served as a refuge from Native American war parties on the western frontier of Colonial Virginia. The fort serves as a living history site where interpreters recreate late 18th century lifestyle through period attire and demonstrations of a variety of colonial crafts. Throughout the season, one may find blacksmiths, spinners, weavers and other traditional artisans at work, and a gun shop which features demonstrations of 18th century firearm manufacturing.
