“Located at the confluence of the Kanawha and Ohio rivers in Point Pleasant, Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is home to an 84-foot granite monument commemorating the frontiersmen who fought and died in the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant. The name “Tu-Endie-Wei” is a Wyandotte word meaning point between two waters.” Tu-Endie-Wei is a historical park that is open year-round. The park’s Mansion House and facilities are open May 1 through the first weekend of October.”
Camp Point Pleasant at the mouth of the Kanawha River was established by Colonel Andrew Lewis (1720–1781) after his Battle of Point Pleasant victory in 1774. Part of Lord Dunmore’s war, the battle pitted roughly equal forces of Virginia militiamen against Shawnee and Mingo warriors led by Shawnee Chieftain Cornstalk. The site continued as a military establishment of various types for many years.
Meriwether Lewis came through this area on or around September 19, 1803, on his way to pick up William Clark at the Falls of the Ohio.
