Chief Logan State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chief Logan State Park is located on 4,000-acres (16.2 km²) about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Logan in Logan County, West Virginia. The park, the town and the county were all named after Chief Logan, a Mingo (or Ohio Iroquois) Native American leader who lived in the region before the American Revolutionary War. Each summer the Liz Spurlock Ampitheater at Chief Logan State Park is the site for outdoor dramas, including the historical fiction "The Aracoma Story" about Seneca tribal members who lived at the present day location of the town of Logan.
