Buckhannon Area

On Route 33, Nancy points out to us where Finks Run is. Some researchers say that Jackson's Fort (a block house) was at Finks Run. Nancy and others are not sure.

At Red Rock near Buckhannon is the gravesite of Phillip Reger, husband of Sarah Jackson, daughter of John and Elizabeth Cummins Jackson.

We drive through Buckhannon and stop to eat at a Wendys. After lunch we drive to the home of Warren Jackson who escorts us to the historic Henry Jackson Cemetery. The view from the hill top near the cemetery is breath taking.
