Area settlers built a blockhouse on this site for protection from Indians. In 1788, one of the builders, Adam Reburn, acquired the patent, and the place became known as Fort Reburn. Reburn’s 218¼-acre homestead, Galilee, was purchased in 1834 by John Jones Muse, Esq., whose family retained it until it became part of the Allegheny Regional Parks System in 1967. Muse was the son of Fauntleroy Muse, a lieutenant of the Indian Wars and a soldier of the American Revolution.
