Attack on Fairmont Marker
At the foot of the Fairmont suspension bridge, Confederate Gen. William E. Jones watched on April 29, 1863, as his men attacked Fairmont to destroy the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge upstream at present-day 12th Street. You can still see some of the bullet-pocked bridge piers on the riverbanks. The marker is located at the foot of Madison Street, entry site of the former Low (toll) Level Bridge in Fairmont.
