The School of the Longhunter is held every year at Prickett's Fort in Fairmont, WV. It is a great event for both the new to the trails and the trail worn veteran. It is a learning event, so there is some ease of correctness, but learning is encouraged and is the reason behind the event. Each day of the event is full of lectures geared toward the knowledge of the frontier and its trials and tribulations, while the evenings are reserved for frontier hospitality between cabins and camps. It is a great place to meet ole friends and make some new ones as well. There is always something to do and learn, and all are willing to share. There is a camp feast in the main cabin every Saturday as well as live period correct entertainment. The atmosphere of the fort and the camp fires and candles is worth the travel alone.
