The park preserves the site of the first battle of the American Revolutionary War, according to a 1908 United States Senate resolution.
The 84-foot tall granite monument is officially titled the 'Battle Monument' and honors the frontiersmen who fought against the Shawnee confederacy.
Chief Cornstalk’s remains were reinterred at the park in 1954 after being discovered during a local construction project.
The Mansion House originally functioned as a tavern and inn for travelers moving along the Ohio River in the late 18th century.
The park grounds contain a memorial to the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse, which occurred nearby on the Ohio River.
The area surrounding the park was once the location of Fort Randolph, a strategic military outpost during the Revolutionary era.
Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is situated at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The name derives from the Wyandotte phrase meaning 'point between two waters.' It serves as the burial site of Chief Cornstalk, a leader of the Shawnee Nation killed at Fort Randolph in 1777. The park features an 84-foot granite obelisk monument erected in 1909 to commemorate the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant. Lord Dunmore's War is the primary historical event memorialized within the grounds. The Mansion House, a historic log structure built in 1796, stands on the property as one of the oldest buildings in the Kanawha Valley. The park grounds include extensive lawns, riverfront walking paths, and picnic areas. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
