Paw Paw

Important concentration point of the Union Army from 1861 to 1865. As many as 16,000 Federal troops were encamped here at one time. A blockhouse stood along the tracks of the B&O Railroad at this point.

Marker is at the intersection of West Virginia Route 9 and Winchester Street, on the right when traveling east on State Route 9.
