It was also of prime importance in the political dissension that led to the separation and eventual statehood of the section of Virginia that became West Virginia. The historic byway and associated backways include such Civil War sites as the Rich Mountain Battlefield, Beverly Historic District, Cheat Summit Fort, Camp Bartow, and Camp Allegheny. Accompanying points of interest are the many historic sites, houses, and towns revealing the hardships of early life experienced by the settlers.
