More West Virginia, 1975

These are digitized scans of photographic slides taken by my father, Donald Delbert France (1934-2013), while on an American Civil War tromp in West Virginia with the Army of the Cussewago, led by Jay Luvaas, in 1975. The latter is to the right, wearing a red jacket, with white hair. 
This one is included because I can identify exactly where it was taken: Lewiston, West Virginia. The Fort Savannah Inn was "abandoned" at some point, but the grounds are being converted into a park and market, at least as of the summer of 2013. There's an article about it here. There's a lot of history in Lewiston, population currently about 4,000.
