Here New and Gauley rivers unite to form Great Kanawha River. Piers still stand of old bridge destroyed by the Confederate troops in 1861. Here Thomas Dunn English, author of the ballad, "Ben Bolt," wrote "Gauley River".
Marker is on U.S. 60 0.1 miles east of West Virginia Route 16, on the right when traveling east.
