A donation was made to Ray Dixon, Chairman for the Fort Ohio Fund in the amount of $450.00 this past winter ‘07 by the American Legion, Ridgeley West Virginia, Post 136.
What Fort Ohio was, according to local historian Gary Clites, is the first civilization in this area, built by a private venture in 1750. Prior to that, the closest settlement was 13 miles away, in Oldtown, which was settled about 1740.
