With a commanding view of the area below, present-day Fort Hill was used by both Civil War armies. The Confederate push into the Kanawha Valley in 1862 relied on artillery on the heights, and Union troops created a more permanent presence in 1863, naming the battlements after General Eliakim P. Scammon, Third Division, Department of West Virginia. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 1976.
