On this historic spot, once the hunting ground of the friendly Indian Nemacolin, a memorial honors the pioneer mothers of the covered wagon days. It stands in Washington County, Pennsylvania, the oldest county west of the Allegheny Mountains, named for the father of the country, along the National Old Trails Road. It was presented and dedicated on December 8, 1928 by the National Society of the American Revolution, restored in 1990 by the Pennsylvania State Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, under Mrs. Thomas G. Burkey, State Regent, and rededicated on June 23, 1990.
