Fort Randolph Committee is a non-profit organization located in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of Fort Randolph. The committee was established in 1989 by local citizens and is run by a board of directors consisting of volunteers. The organization's primary goal is to promote and educate the public about the importance of Fort Randolph, which was a colonial-era fort built in 1776 to protect the frontier from Native American attacks during the American Revolution.

The committee manages and maintains the Fort Randolph site, which includes the reconstructed fort and a museum. The museum houses a collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the history of the fort and the surrounding area. The committee also organizes events and activities throughout the year, such as reenactments, educational programs, and special events.

Fort Randolph Committee relies on donations and grants to fund its operations and projects. The organization works closely with local schools, historical societies, and other community organizations to ensure that the history of Fort Randolph is preserved for future generations. Thanks to the efforts of the Fort Randolph Committee, the fort is now a popular tourist attraction and a significant part of Point Pleasant's rich history.
