The 11 acres that house the Mayfield Fort have human artifacts dating back to 3,700 BC. However, the fortification wasn’t built until 1861 during the Civil War. This historic site was once the home to the Hooe family, but once the Confederates came to defend the railroad lines, they had to abandon their home. During the Confederate’s control, conscript slaves and troops built a ring of 12 fortifications around the railroad. Guests can visit the land, see the markers for the foundation of the original Hooe mansion, as well as the remainder of the fortifications. This site houses living history events.
