Ohio River Landing and Heritage Port
Landmark
The Ohio River at Wheeling was the strategic reality that determined why a fort was built here. Whoever controlled this stretch of river controlled movement between Virginia and the interior. During the Revolution, the Ohio River was simultaneously a supply route, a military highway, and a contested boundary between American settlement and Native-held territory. The modern Heritage Port area preserves access to the riverfront and interprets Wheeling's frontier history.
