Background
The Colonel Kelly Monument commemorates Colonel Benjamin Franklin Kelley, who took part in the Battle of Philippi and became the colonel of the 1st Virginia Infantry in May 1861. The Col. Kelly monument audio tour, courtesy of Dick Shale, is available at the site.

Layout
This location is situated on a hill with an unpaved road leading up to a small parking lot. Two sets of wooden stairs start here and lead up to the top of the hill, where the monument sits near some park benches and the audio tour station.

There are two containers that can be looted, a cooler in the ground on the second level of the stairs, and a wooden crate in a van on the road leading up to the parking lot. There is also a coal deposit to the west.
