Baughman's Fort near Alderson at the mouth of the Wolf was purportedly settled in 1751. Information about Baughman's Fort is available from the local historical societies. Today Wolf Creek is a sleepy pastoral village in Monroe County with a Post Office, church, and a community building with a sparse population living near the waters of Broad Run and Wolf Creek. Today, the Greenbrier Valley and Monroe County: Much of the past is still alive in Monroe County. The County seat of Union is a modern-day Mayberry, where folks still speak to each other in passing. Union offers all the shopping and business needs for everyday life; you will find an excellent hometown supermarket, hardware, quaint restaurants, attorney, insurance agents, pharmacy, the Bank of Monroe, the courthouse, service stations, and many other businesses. One thing that you will not find in Monroe County is a 4-lane highway, a franchise fast food, or a stoplight. Monroe County is still an agriculturally based lifestyle with farm families that go back hundreds of years. The population of Monroe County is 13,401; however, the cattle population historically is generally higher.

An estimate for the value of the forest has not been conducted. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Historically the farm has been used as a residence and grazing beef cattle. With approximately ¾ mile of wonderful Wolf Creek flowing through the property, the property could be ideal for cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, and more. Running water and electricity are in place at the brick-and-stick-built multi-purpose workshop garage. The farm is well situated to be used for various animals. Various crops could be cultivated in the fields. Near the farmhouse are several suitable garden spots. WILDLIFE The mixture of mature forest, emerging forest, open farm fields, old fruit trees, and the excellent Wolf Creek water supply creates the perfect wildlife habitat. The "edge effect" created between the creek and farm fields and forest is the textbook habitat for the resident wildlife. The edges make a long wildlife food plot. The hardwood forest produces tons of acorns, hickory nuts, beechnuts, walnuts, and soft mast. Whitetail deer, black bear, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and many songbirds, eagles, owls, and hawks make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find a property with a better wildlife mix as there has been little hunting pressure for many years. Many animals around the edges of wonderful Wolf Creek, including raccoons, turtles, salamanders, newts, crayfish, muskrat, bullfrogs, and redwing blackbirds. Of course, there is the insect and microscopic world, including butterflies, dragonflies, water skaters, water beetles, damselflies, and tadpoles.
