Fort Randolph is a full size reproduction of a stockade fort that was originally at the confluence of the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers. Now at Krodel Park, the fort is generally open on summer weekends, and occasionally has re-enactments. There are four or five buildings within the walls; most are open for viewing and have artifacts and displays inside. The blacksmith shop is interesting to see when demonstrations are taking place.
