Description: A West Virginia state highway historical marker illustrating a brief history of Fort Edwards near present-day Capon Bridge in Hampshire County, West Virginia.

The French and Indians later attacked the fort but the garrison, aided by Daniel Morgan and other frontiersmen, repulsed the assault."
