A remnant of the Great Rock, or the Half King’s Rock, mentioned by early cartographers stands here. The famous Washington-Braddock Road, emerging from Laurel Hill Mountain one hundred yards eastward, turned northward at this point. Rock Fort Camp, where Braddock’s army encamped June 28, 1755, was situated one hundred fifty yards to the northward. Two miles beyond are Washington’s first battlefield, 1754, Jumonville’s grave, and Dunbar’s camp, 1765.
