BECKLEY, W.Va. — In 1837, Alfred Beckley visited modern-day Blue Jay, and the Beckley founder noted a mystery that baffled him and would baffle generations after him — the remnants of a “fort” near Beaver Creek.
The Cartography Club of the Raleigh County Historical Society will hold a meeting Thursday evening, as they try to unravel one of Raleigh County’s lost treasures — the location of the unexplainable “fort” at the bend of Beaver Creek.
“This discussion is about where the fort was,” explained Historical Society President Tom Sopher. “It will be a local person, two archaeologists and a mapper.”
