The Trout Rock Fort was one in the chain of forts that the Virginia House of Burgesses in March 1756 directed Washington to erect for the defense of settlers in the South Branch Valley. It also marks the end of Gen. Stonewall Jackson's pursuit of the Federals after the Battle of McDowell, May 12, 1862. On this site during the War Between the States, gunpowder was made from saltpeter obtained in a nearby cave.
