Washington’s Spring

This spring lay in the direct path of what was known as Nemacolin’s Trail, later Braddock’s Road, and was a favorite sampling spot in early days. George Washington visited here first in November 1753 and again in May 1754. On the night of June 26, 1755, he camped here with General Braddock and his army on their memorable advance toward Fort Duquesne.
