About the Business
Fort Mulligan, located at 100 Mulligan Drive in Petersburg, West Virginia, was a strategic site occupied by both Federal and Confederate troops during the Civil War. Constructed by Union troops under the command of Col. James A. Mulligan in 1863, the fort played a crucial role in patrolling against Confederate raids on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The fort was evacuated in 1864 before a Confederate attack, and was never occupied as a garrison again.

"If you are a history buff, the place was relaxing and the scenery was beautiful, but they haven't put much into this as a go to tourist attraction. We found the Couthouse museum to be loaded with interesting history."
"We loved it. My man is a big history buff and there is alot of history there. Very very well kept up. And the view to the mountains makes it even better"
"10 stars. Imagine yourself coming here to a reenactment. Would be interesting to be able to camp out here one night."
"Such an amazing location to look over Petersburg and learn some local history. The grounds are generally well kept but the site could use some care with updated fact sheets and some better preservation/upkeep for the canons and flags."
"This is a great spot to learn some history about Petersburg and enjoy nature. The signage outlining the history of the fort is in pretty rough shape and I feel they could use better pictures of how the site originally looked. It makes you wonder what life was like all those years ago."
